The RWE share at a glance

Over 100 years of experience in the service of our shareholders

History of RWE shares

The RWE Group emerged from Rheinisch-Westfälisches Elektrizitätswerk Aktiengesellschaft, Essen, which was founded in 1898. After the first municipalities had taken up shares in the young company in 1905, they represented the majority of the company's shareholders for a long time.

In 1922, the share was quoted on the Berlin Stock Exchange for the first time. But it was not before the change in the par value of the common share from DM 50 in 1968 to DM 5 in 1995 that RWE was increasingly tapping new investor circles.

Company’s capital stock consists of 743.8 million non-par-value shares

After the conversion of the mandatory convertible bond issued to Qatar Holding LLC in October 2022, the statutory share capital of RWE AG amounts to €1,904 million. The capital stock consists of 743,841,217 non-par value voting bearer shares.
