Climate Protection Begins in Your Own Cellar

The action day starts at the Willy-Brandt Forum with coffee and tea. At 10 a.m., the lecture Climate Questions, Climate Knowledge by Mareike Herrmann from BUND Schwerin will provide background on the climate crisis and the energy transition. The event is aimed at homeowners as well as anyone who wants to inform themselves independently about climate-friendly heating technology.

Open Heating Cellars and Real Experiences

In the afternoon, visits to open heating cellars will bring the lecture into practice. There, interested participants will experience how heat pumps and other climate-friendly heating solutions work in everyday life. Personal conversations create a special event atmosphere: experiences are shared directly, questions can be asked on equal terms, and the event planning consciously focuses on neighborhood rather than sales pressure. Registration via the action platform is required for the cellar visits.

Energy Consulting and Moderated Exchange Forum

At 4 p.m., energy consulting with energy efficiency expert Sophie Rathgeber is on the agenda.

The day will conclude at 5 p.m. with the moderated exchange forum Cellar Experiences. Here, impressions, experiences, and practical insights from the day come together.
