Walk historic energy and transport networks

Walk historic energy and transport networks The 2026 motto NetzWERKE: Denkmale & Infrastruktur puts bridges, locks, power houses, rail sheds, and supply buildings in the spotlight. These places once moved people, water, goods, and power. On Open Monument Day they open so you can see how earlier networks still shape streets and rivers. What you can do - Search the programme for industry, Technik, or infrastructure tags near you - Visit a dated listing such as Dresden's Bahnbetriebswerk Dresden-Altstadt when it opens - Ask guides how the site fed a town: water, power, freight, or passenger rail - Carry the pattern into advocacy: keep repairable infrastructure visible in your own city How it works DSD invites owners to present monuments as network nodes, not only as pretty facades. Filter for technical monuments, then pick one deep listing with hours and access notes. Why it matters Energy and transport heritage make climate and mobility conversations tangible. You stand inside the systems that still underwrite daily life.

EMAS environmental management at GIZ German sites

Publish measurable environmental performance every year At its Bonn and Eschborn campuses, GIZ runs the EU Eco Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), one of the strictest environmental management systems available. Annual Umwelterklärung (environmental statements) disclose energy, water, waste, and improvement measures; GIZ won the 2023 German–Austrian Environmental Management Award for its statement. What you can do - Universities, hospitals, or federal agencies: compare your campus to EMAS requirements and publish a one-page environmental statement for staff and neighbours - Facility managers: map measuring points for energy and water: GIZ targets 20% energy reduction in Germany by 2025 - Visitors to Bonn: ask your employer whether EMAS or ISO 14001 certification is on the roadmap How it works EMAS goes beyond ISO 14001 with mandatory public reporting and third-party verification. GIZ pairs EMAS in Germany with CSH handprint tools abroad. Why it matters Transparent annual accounts turn sustainability from a poster into a measurable habit.
