35 Years of Taxi Rathje – an anniversary with customers, colleagues and neighbors

A special anniversary was celebrated in Bispingen last week: Taxi Rathje has been serving the region for 35 years. Owner Gundula Hauenstein invited customers, association colleagues, and friends to celebrate her company's anniversary together—on the company's own premises, in a familial and approachable setting.

"For us, people come first," says Hauenstein. Many passengers have been with the company for years. "We know each other, we value each other, and we know what we have in one another."

It is this personal relationship that makes the work special.

Taxi Rathje was founded in 1990, initially with trips in Bispingen and the surrounding area. Fourteen years later, Hauenstein expanded the operation and opened up Soltau as another service area. Today, the company is a firmly established part of passenger transport in the region—supported by financial prudence, close customer relations, and deep local roots.

The Taxi and Rental Car Association (TMV) also attended the anniversary. Head of Office Nico Höttges presented Hauenstein with a certificate of honor recognizing “35 years of exceptional and innovative commitment.” It states that a “palpable entrepreneurial spirit” is evident, “one that manifests internally as care for the employees and externally as a spirit of partnership.” According to the commendation, being rooted in one’s home region is also a commitment to the values of the social market economy.

Hauenstein is active not only in her own business. She is chair of the Taxi and Private Hire professional association in the GVN Lüneburg district, chair of the Taxi and Private Hire professional association within the GVN, vice president of the GVN, and vice president of the TMV. Association representatives expressly praised this commitment.

"As host, together with her husband Jürgen, she organized a festive celebration on the company premises," said Höttges. "Here, too, the familial spirit with customers and neighbors was evident. It was a pleasure to be able to attend. We wish Taxi Rathje all the best for the future."
