Free energy advice comes to Fasanerie, Feldmoching and Hasenbergl as neighbourhood weeks begin in Munich's north

Residents of Munich's 24th district, Feldmoching-Hasenbergl, can get expert advice on saving energy at home as the city's Department of Climate and Environmental Protection brings a programme of events to Fasanerie, Feldmoching and Hasenbergl-Süd. From 15 to 25 October, the Re:think München neighbourhood lounge is set up in the car park of St Christoph parish in Fasanerie, at Am Blütenanger 7.

The lounge is an upcycled container with a roof terrace that visitors can walk on and advice points inside. It offers information and hands-on activities on energy, the heating transition and sustainability. Expert consultation sessions cover topics including energy-efficient renovation, climate-friendly heating, the use of solar energy and available funding. The aim is to help residents identify where they could save energy at home and use energy more consciously and efficiently. A family day with fun and entertainment is planned for 18 October.

Boris Schwartz, deputy head of the Department of Climate and Environmental Protection, said: "To reach our climate targets, we are relying on advising residents in their neighbourhoods and on direct contact with them. When it comes to climate protection in the city, there is no single solution that suits everyone. Every district, every neighbourhood faces its own challenges." He noted that the outreach energy advice service had already been active in the north of Munich and is currently working in Hasenbergl-Süd and Lerchenau.

The neighbourhood weeks in the north of the city will close with a series of information events from 5 to 12 November at the Kulturzentrum 2411, Blodigstraße 4, in Hasenbergl. Topics will include pooling demand for heat pumps, local heating networks and energy-efficient renovation measures. The event room on the third floor is accessible without steps.
