Climate walk in Freising: This is how we fight against the heat!
Climate walk in Freising: This is how we fight against the heat!
In the late afternoon of June 22, 2025, numerous interested parties gathered at Marienplatz in Freising to take part in a special “climate walk”. This was organized by Agenda 21 and the Stadtnatur working group in cooperation with the Weihenstein-Triesdorf (HSWT) University of Applied Sciences. With increasing temperatures and almost silent air, the reason was all the more urgent. "Climate protection and an improved urban infrastructure are in demand here," explains Stefanie Burger from the BUND Nature Conservation, such as the Süddeutsche reported.
The walk was accompanied by HSWT students who documented the conditions on site with measuring devices and thermal imaging cameras. The aim was to collect valuable knowledge of temperature, wind, humidity and radiation. In addition, the participants had the opportunity to fill out questionnaires, the results of which are included in the seminar events on the subject of “City as a social space”.
heat in German cities
The current heat load in many German cities is particularly alarming: According to an investigation into German environmental aid, over 12 million people are affected. As part of the heat check in 2025, 31 out of 190 cities received a “red card” and are therefore under particularly strong heat pressure, such as the Deutsche Environmental Aid . Chilling and well -being are often not possible in view of extreme temperatures, especially in cities with high sealing and low green proportion. In these tense conditions, cities such as Mannheim and Ludwigshafen are the most affected, while others such as Kiel and Wilhelmshaven can cope with less heat load. The demand for binding minimum green parts for land and public spaces is getting louder to improve the quality of life.adaptation pressure and solutions
The pressure on cities grows to take quick and effective measures to adapt to the heat load. The climate walk in Freising also aims. The "3-30-300" rule is also presented, which illuminates the influence of trees in urban rooms: visibility of trees, the proportion of tree tops and the distance to parks are crucial for the cooling of the urban climate. At the first station, the Asam Innerhof, the participants experienced impressively how shade old buildings can cause temperature fluctuations.
The city is to be upgraded through innovative approaches such as faith greening, water features and oversized buckets with trees as insect habitats. The concept of the "sponge city" is also required to better counter the flooding. The need to create networked green spaces that benefit both people and animals is clear. Urban Gardening projects, such as in raised beds on the Wörth, also contribute to the loosening of the cityscape.
A look into the future
in a world that is increasingly urbanized, parks and green oases are essential for well -being. The participants of the walk are encouraged to take detours through such places - after all, they contribute to recovery in the middle of the urban hectic pace. The big goal remains: a city that is blue, green, cool and worth living, with access for everyone and in the sense of environmental and generation justice.
The rose island in Freising is an example of a cross -generational park, but caution is also required here: the risk of gentrification in new green areas must be kept in mind. The "3-30-300" rule, according to which green areas are not a luxury, should be a guide for all future plans in German cities.
A rethink is necessary so that well -being returns to urban rooms and the cities remain worth living for everyone. Everyone can work here: R and advance the demand for more green and heat adaptation measures.
