Climate protection manager Spitzner leaves Hammelburg – what remains?
Philipp Spitzner, the climate protection manager for the city of Hammelburg, will leave his position at the end of 2023. Since 2022, he has worked significantly in this role on the implementation of climate protection projects in the city. In just under four years he has dealt with a wide range of topics that are of great importance for the sustainable development of the region, such as fraenkischertag.de reported.
His departure coincides with the start of his final week at work, which starts tomorrow. Spitzner has initiated many groundbreaking projects during his time, with the creation of a comprehensive climate protection concept being the first important step in his term of office. Last but not least, he placed great emphasis on the implementation of concrete projects that make a sustainable contribution to the region.
Successful practices and innovative approaches
Under Spitzner's leadership, the municipal area pooling for wind energy in Gauaschach was successfully carried out. He also created a catalog of criteria for ground-mounted PV systems, which led to the adoption of five resolutions for such projects. The construction of seven PV systems on municipal properties also demonstrates a clear focus on renewable energies.
The municipal heat planning was completed early, and he held numerous events and campaigns to increase awareness of climate protection among citizens. Free energy advice for citizens was introduced, as was the founding of the Citizens' Energy Cooperative in the Bad Kissingen District eG. These initiatives not only support local energy production, but also the community.
A look into the future
Spitzner has already looked for a new challenge for the future and plans to work as a wind energy project developer at wpd GmbH from January. His successes to date will have repercussions beyond his time in office, as he has provided numerous important impulses.
The relevance of municipalities and districts in achieving national climate protection goals should not be underestimated. The role model function that they serve for citizens and local companies is increasingly emphasized in the current discussion about climate protection. According to that Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics Municipal energy and climate protection concepts are crucial for the development of sustainable strategies and the support of corresponding measures.
Spitzner's deployment in Hammelburg represents a valuable contribution to the desired energy transition and paves the way for future projects in the region. The conclusion: Climate protection has also made a lot of progress in Hammelburg and will certainly ensure many further positive developments.
