The Steinmühle as a Think Tank and a Place for Exchange

The Climate Protection Team from the Marburg-Biedenkopf District’s Department of District Development and Climate Protection recently held its strategy day on the Steinmühle campus. “Three colleagues have joined the new Climate Adaptation division, which is funded by the federal government for two years,” explained team leader Michael Kauer. The committee discussed possible measures for addressing the consequences of climate change in the Marburg-Biedenkopf district. The steps agreed upon will be implemented over the next few years. According to Michael Kauer, the overarching theme is how to achieve the climate goals set by policymakers.

The District Development and Climate Protection Department, headed by Ulrich Buddemeier, is responsible for the village and regional development grant programs as well as for bicycle traffic planning, and coordinates interdisciplinary individual projects related to district development.

As part of this joint partnership, the Steinmühle makes its facilities available to the Marburg-Biedenkopf district at irregular intervals for medium-sized and larger events. The district was one of the Steinmühle’s key supporters during its construction and expansion projects.
