Reiskirchen starts a greener future with climate protection manager!
Reiskirchen has taken a significant step towards climate protection by hiring the municipality for the first time a climate protection manager. Holger Pitzer, an experienced specialist from Grünberg-Göbelnrod, took over this new position on April 1, 2025. With twelve years of experience from a planning office, Pitzer brings extensive knowledge of energy -efficient systems, which could be of great importance for the future of the community. Mayor Tobias Breidenbach (CDU) during his first meeting in the municipal council at 25. April 2025 submitted an urgency application for the accession to the alliance climate commune.
This application, which is closely linked to the goals of the new climate protection manager, is said to be up to 1. July 2025 . Such accession gives Reiskirchen the opportunity to receive government support, which is of great importance against the background of the Hessian climate goals. Hessen strives to become climate -neutral until 2045 , and it is due to the municipalities to actively initiate and promote climate protection projects. Around 100 municipalities in Hessen are currently working systematically on the implementation of climate protection measures, whereby creative approaches are also required.
New course in the municipal council
The SPD group newcomer Steffen Kutscher was also welcomed in the new meeting of the municipal council. However, Kutscher had to leave the meeting room during the advisors for land use planning. It was about the cancellation of the statute decision on the "Kohlstatt" area, which was rejected with 15 votes, 5 for it and 4 abstentions . After Kutscher had left the room, a second vote took place, which ended with three abstentions. Ultimately, the municipal council decided to cancel the statute decision from March 2018, since the original investor had given up its plans for the increase in business.The measures in Reiskirchen are in line with the constant efforts of the Hessian municipalities to not only make the topic of climate protection into a local strategic point, but also to take a pioneering role. Climate protection managers are a central part of this strategy. There are already numerous such areas in the entire state that enable cities and municipalities to specifically develop concepts for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The Hessian Klimgersetz, which only applies to the country itself, calls on municipalities for voluntary participation, but strengthens the responsibility to find creative solutions for sustainable urban development. In addition to financial support from the state, municipalities can also access funding from the climate accounting. In the year 2025 , a total of 15 million euros are made available to promote innovative and climate silence.
The approaches developed here in Reiskirchen and other municipalities are directional for climate protection. The challenges of the climate crisis require cooperative and well thought -out strategies that have an effect not only locally, but also nationwide and beyond.
