practical experience
The projects presented here stem from my many years of work in municipal climate resilience and form the basis of my current work. I was the main project manager for all of these projects.
2023–2025
Federal funding project KlaR
In August 2023, the KlaR funding project was launched: Climate Adaptation in Regensburg – Making Resilience Tangible. The aim was to develop climate adaptation measures for two squares in Regensburg's old town. The project was carried out in cooperation with the city planning office and the Bifa Environmental Institute. More (German).
2024
Urban climate laboratory with sensor technology
As part of Regensburg's Smart City funding programme, another exciting project was launched in 2024. Numerous sensors were used to record the local urban climate at Neupfarrplatz over several weeks. The aim was also to evaluate the climatic impact of a water feature and small trees. More (German)
2023
Thermalbefliegung
In the summer of 2023, a thermal survey was conducted for Regensburg. The survey recorded morning and midday conditions from an aeroplane. The images serve as a basis for gaining a better understanding of thermal heating in Regensburg. The maps can be viewed on the city's geoportal. More (German)
2018-2025
Climate resilience strategy
A climate resilience strategy forms the basis for targeted and efficient action. A report summarised the key measures, thereby communicating the current processes to the public in an understandable way. More (German).
2023-2024
Urban climate analysis
In addition to the strategy, a city needs a climate function map. This shows the heat stress in different areas of the city. This allows targeted local measures to be implemented to reduce the stress. The map was implemented by Burghardt und Partner Ingenieure from Kassel.
2023
DWD urban climate station
In July 2023, the new urban climate station in Regensburg was inaugurated. As part of the German Weather Service's special measurement network, it is now one of only eight stations in Germany providing valuable measurement data for recording developments in the national and local urban climate.

2021-2022
Heat management
Implementation of a one-year process with support from EPC GmbH and the relevant specialist departments to implement a heat management process. Decision on 10 key measures for implementation, including a heat action plan and a climate function map. More (German)
2019-2020
Heavy rain management
Chairing of a round table on heavy rainfall with 14 specialist departments and the mayor responsible for the environment. Initial guidelines were developed within the framework of the working groups that were set up, as well as a series of measures that were approved for implementation by the city council.
