What Stadtwerke Friedrichsthal GmbH & Co. KG does

Stadtwerke Friedrichsthal GmbH & Co. KG is a municipal utility company (Stadtwerke) operating since 1899 from its headquarters at Saarbrücker Strasse 150, Friedrichsthal, in the German state of Saarland. It is organized as a German limited partnership (GmbH & Co. KG) owned by the city of Friedrichsthal, with day-to-day management handled by two Geschäftsführer, Dr. Falk Ihrig and Max Hofmann. Its legal entity comprises approximately five employees organized around a customer service, billing, and commercial-administration function.

The company's core product is drinking water supply, sourced 100% from groundwater at Wasserwerk Spiesermühltal and delivered 24/7, 365 days a year at a net price of €1.97/cbm to households across Friedrichsthal. Building on this water-supply franchise, Stadtwerke Friedrichsthal has extended into electricity and gas via two external partnerships: the kommpower municipal energy partnership (with four other Saarland municipal utilities — Gemeindewerke Eppelborn, Heusweiler, Kleinblittersdorf, and Stadtwerke Lebach — plus Energie SaarLorLux) supplies 100% renewable electricity at ~29.87 Cent/kWh and Saarland-origin natural gas at ~8.36 Cent/kWh net. A newer 'mobil plus' tariff (28.68 Cent/kWh) bundles household and EV charging for electric-vehicle customers. Grid operations are outsourced to energis Netzgesellschaft mbH, and wastewater disposal is handled by the sister organization EZF (Entsorgungszweckverband Friedrichsthal).

Go-to-market is a sales-led, local-presence model: a physical customer service center at headquarters operates weekdays, backed by a 24/7 self-service online Kunden-Portal for contract management, meter-reading submission, and invoice handling, plus telephone support during business hours. The utility has deployed Kamstrup Funkwasserzähler (smart radio water meters) to replace older meter types and enable remote reading. Revenue is generated entirely through recurring subscription-style utility billing (monthly or semi-annual advances with annual settlement) across residential and a small commercial customer base in Friedrichsthal and surrounding Saarland municipalities including Bildstock, Maybach, Sulzbach, Neuweiler, Merchweiler, Wemmetsweiler, Quierschied, Fischbach, and Göttelborn. The firm also operates the kommpowerCent community-engagement program, committing €30,000 annually (up to €6,000 per partner utility) toward regional social, sporting, and cultural projects.
