The whole speech of Minister President Winfried Kretschmann at the start of the timber construction offensive in Baden-Württemberg
Minister President Winfried Kretschmann presented the new timber construction offensive in Baden-Württemberg in his speech at the 40th Holzbau BW symposium in Stuttgart on 7 November 2018 and outlined the importance of timber construction for Baden-Württemberg. In future, public buildings are to be realised as far as possible in timber or timber hybrid construction. 16.6 million euros in subsidies are available. "The state has a role model function to utilise the potential of timber construction to achieve climate protection targets." In addition to the most timber construction-friendly state building regulations, Baden-Württemberg is now taking a further consistent step to promote the environmentally friendly building material with its timber construction offensive. A Federal Council initiative is intended to promote timber construction at federal level.
Berlin, 24.6.2021: Commenting on today's discussion of the Renewable Energy Sources Act (EEG) in the German Bundestag Sascha Müller-Kraenner, Federal Executive Director of Deutsche Umwelthilfe (DUH):
"The grand coalition is breaking its promise to set higher expansion targets for renewable energies for the year 2030 before the end of this election period. An agreement failed mainly due to the energy transition brakemen within the CDU/CSU parliamentary group. In doing so, the federal government is ignoring the implementation of the new EU climate targets and disregarding the decision of the Federal Constitutional Court to tackle more ambitious climate protection measures before 2030. The amendment to the Renewable Energy Sources Act is missing the heart of the matter. As recently as the end of 2020, Federal Economics Minister Peter Altmaier had announced an ambitious expansion path for wind and solar energy for the first quarter of 2021. After a long wait, there was only the famous drop in the ocean: four gigawatts of onshore wind energy and six gigawatts of photovoltaics are the targets for 2022. Longer-term expansion targets? No such thing. Quite obviously, the need for a rapid transformation of our energy supply has not yet reached the CDU/CSU, despite all their climate protection pledges in the election campaign."
The rising demand for electricity from electric heat pumps and electromobility necessitates the expansion of at least six gigawatts of onshore wind energy and at least ten gigawatts of photovoltaics - and this annually until 2030. The financial participation of municipalities in ground-mounted photovoltaics and easier repowering of wind turbines, on the other hand, are fundamentally positive measures.
Many new projects, new photo galleries or new individual project photos have been added to the web database www.siedlungen.eu in 2018. The following is an overview.
Addition to Nordstadt Karlsruhe
With 526 residential units, the two-storey extensions in timber frame construction are the largest contiguous timber construction project in a housing estate in Europe in the last 40 years

In addition, data protection was reviewed. The website was already EU GDPR compliant in most areas. However, some plugins were uninstalled and replaced or a few functions were deactivated for which it is not obvious whether they are GDPR-compliant. Read here the extended Privacy policy.
In the Ecological model settlement in Prinz Eugen Park in Munich, a total of more than 600 residential units are to be built in timber or timber hybrid construction. According to the Mikado article, all plots of land for the model housing estate, which is up to seven storeys high, have already been allocated.
