Murnau - With a municipal climate protection concept (2012) and the solar roof cadastre developed from it, the Murnau market was one of the southern Bavarian pioneers years ago.
Now the community would like to give the energy transition fresh impetus.
A newly founded working group wants to motivate the population to pay more attention to the topics of electricity generation, heating and mobility.
A lot has already happened in terms of ecology, says environmental officer Phillip Zehnder.
He names the energetic renovation and the equipping of community-owned buildings with photovoltaic systems.
Further examples are the district heating network and the Omobi local bus.
The market town has an ambitious goal for the future;
Philip Zehnder: “By 2030, we want to achieve climate neutrality in the municipal administration and the municipal utilities with all businesses and buildings.
We don't want to produce any more greenhouse gases within ten years, instead we want to invest in renewable energies. ”In practice, it means, among other things, converting the municipal vehicle fleet to environmentally friendly models;
and give priority to climate protection in renovations and building projects.
On the way to Murnau's climate neutrality, it is important to take the population with us, emphasizes Mayor Rolf Beuting: “When I walk through Murnau, I can still see enough roofs on which solar systems can be placed. A lot would be gained by leaving the second car behind and switching to our local public transport. ”Information material is available on the website www.murnau.de. Simply click through to “Environment & Energy” via the “Citizens Service” section.
The new 'Climate Protection & Energy' working group will provide assistance and motivation for the population.
In the committee, representatives of the municipal administration, the municipal works, the municipal council groups as well as delegates from the Bund Naturschutz, Murnau Mit einer eV, children and youth representatives and interested citizens develop a catalog of measures on the subject of climate protection.
The task will also be to show people through public relations what ecology can look like in a personal environment.
Mayor Rolf Beuting cites the tenant electricity model of the residential multi-party houses on Adalbert-Stifter-Strasse as an example: “The residents use the solar electricity produced on their roofs at low prices.” Gb
