The Energy and Climate Day 2024
The Energy and Climate Day 2024 (Energie- und Klimatag) will take place on September 21 from 10 AM to 4 PM along the main street and at the church square in Heiligenhaus. In its second edition, the event focuses on key topics such as climate and environmental protection, sustainability, renewable energies, energy-efficient renovations and mobility, aiming to show how every individual can contribute.
As part of the diverse program on climate, environmental protection and sustainability, Green City Solutions with the “Bio-Moss Filters CityTree, CityBreeze, WallBreeze” will be featured. Our team member, Patrick Schülke, will welcome you on-site, near the “Breathing Walls of Heiligenhaus”– These innovative air filters and coolers were installed in May last year because, as Andreas Sauerwein, the city’s technical councilor, stated at the time, “We need to do something to address and adapt to climate change”.

“Get ready for a diverse program and experience hands-on climate protection!” In addition to numerous exhibitors, the City of Heiligenhaus will offer a colorful children’s program, musical performances, and presentations on stage, along with various culinary delights. Following the opening by Mayor Michael Beck, attendees can look forward to two key highlights: a visit from the Minister of Environment, Nature Conservation, and Transportation of North Rhine-Westphalia, Oliver Krischer, and a panel discussion on climate protection with local political representatives, moderated by radio host Anna Tefert.
Last year, the first Energy and Climate Day in Heiligenhaus was introduced as “one of the major initiatives of the Climate Protection Plan”. This year’s event will be held in conjunction with the European Mobility Week. As the German Environmental Protection Agency (Umweltbundesamt) notes, the “European Mobility Week” is launched by the European Commission and is “the world’s largest campaign for sustainable mobility”.
The City of Heiligenhaus — and we — wish you “lots of fun at the Energy and Climate Day” and look forward to meeting you!
