Solar system in Frankfurt (Oder): Climate protection for affordable living space!

In a groundbreaking step to reduce energy consumption, the Frankfurt (Oder) housing industry has installed the first solar system on the existing housing stock at Karl-Marx-Straße 23. This innovative energy concept will not only significantly reduce the high-rise's CO₂ emissions, but will also directly benefit the tenants. “The installation of the solar system is a first and important step towards climate-neutral living,” emphasizes Jan Eckardt, Managing Director of WOWI. This reduces general electricity and heating costs, which represents a noticeable financial relief for residents. The advanced collectors use solar radiation to feed energy into the home network and thus reduce the high costs of hot water and lighting, as shown on vermieter-ratgeber.de is reported.

Urban change on Karl-Marx-Straße

In parallel to these ecological initiatives, Karl-Marx-Strasse in Neukölln is undergoing significant change through extensive renovation measures. The area, once characterized by industry and little usable space, is now becoming a model of urban resilience. In collaboration between local actors, the public sector and private investors, attractive local recreational areas on the shipping canal and other newly designed places are being created that significantly increase the quality of life. Strengthening the bicycle infrastructure and promoting pedestrian-friendly mobility not only makes an important contribution to sustainable urban development, but also improves the connection between central points in the district. The “Kindl Staircase” enables direct access between the newly designed area and the heart of Neukölln, which attracts more residents. These positive changes were brought about by tag-der-staedtebaufoerderung.berlin.de underlined.
