Who we are
We, the Abwasserverband Braunschweig, are a water and soil association on the basis of the Water Association Law from 1991 and therefore a statutory corporation. At our high-tech wastewater treatment plant “Steinhof”, we use the latest technology to purify the waste water produced by the city of Braunschweig and a number of boroughs covered by the Gifhorn water board. The mechanically and biologically purified water is then subsequently used on agricultural areas belonging to our members.
The farmers are important partners for our association, as they are able to use purified wastewater which provides the plants with both water and important nutrients at the same time. We thereby ensure the production of food, fodder and energy plants. Simultaneously, we develop an ecologically valuable landscape through the planting of hedges and woodland copses and thereby a linking-up of biotopes.
