Since Freiburg has more hours of sunlight per year than any other German city, the people here have long been active in using solar panels and other alternative energy sources to provide heat and power for their houses.
This particular house, on a street called Eichhalde which is part of the Freiburg Bicycle Loop Trail, is being built with (they say) a "small power plant in your own house", using Stirling technology in combination with solar panels.

This large solar-powered building, called the Sonnenschiff or "Sun-Ship", includes shops, offices and penthouses.
Behind it is a "solar community" consisting of "plus-energy houses" that generate their own energy from regenerative sources. The goal of "plus-energy" construction is to cover the total energy requirement of the house in a regenerative way and even to produce a surplus.

We have a small village in Pennsylvania, USA called Fryburg, apparently named after Germany's Freiburg. It's nice to know more about the original town. Even after living in Germany for two years, I didn't know the rules for the "play streets." Thanks! | BruceDunning Wed Jul 15, 2009 21:58 UTC
Well maybe Freiburg goes green before the rest of us. Great comments and pictures and the theater looks like it holds a lot of culture. The US is trying urban concept just like Vauban | Maryimelda Thu Jul 9, 2009 07:47 UTC
Thanks for the Schlossberg tip Don, I'll be there in August. Lovely page. Regards, Kate | csordila Thu May 14, 2009 05:11 UTC
I have just checked your updates, whether a visit is worth here. Yes, it is! Best. L. |
