Modern Energy Efficient Heat Solutions for Lasting Comfort
Detmold, a city in North Rhine-Westphalia, is taking significant strides towards climate neutrality with the introduction of its municipal heat planning. This comprehensive plan aims to provide an orientation for climate-friendly and reliable heat solutions for all citizens.
Heating contributes to 40 percent of greenhouse gas emissions in Detmold, making it a crucial area to focus on in the city's journey towards climate neutrality. The heat planning, developed with financial support from the Federal Ministry of Economics and Climate Protection between December 2023 and December 2024, identifies priority districts for district heating expansion. These include the city centre, Hiddesen-Mitte, parts of Spork-Eichholz, and Jerxen-Orbke.
In a bid to help citizens make informed decisions about their heating options, the heat planning includes a support system that aligns with the city's climate goals. Interested parties who own a building in the test areas are encouraged to contact Stadtwerke Detmold for more information.
The municipal utility company, Stadtwerke Detmold, is responsible for operating the utility and managing the expansion of the electricity grid for constructing heat pipelines for pipeline-bound district heating. The city's local government and relevant departments such as the Fachbereich Stadtentwicklung (Department of Urban Development) in Detmold typically supervise this process.
For those seeking more information about the heat planning, the city's climate portal provides tips, map views, and background information. You can access this portal at klima.our website/klimaschutz/waermeplan. If you have questions about the heat planning, you can contact the city portal at kwp@our website.
To engage with the city society in this living process, an information event titled "Which heat for my house?" will take place on September 2, 2025, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at the large festival hall of the Detmolder Stadthalle. This event is in cooperation with NRW.Energy4Climate.
The our city portal aims to become climate neutral by 2035. The final report of the municipal heat planning for Detmold is now available online for public viewing. The heat planning will be continuously specified and updated at least by the year 2030.
In further zones, a possible district heating expansion in the long term is sensible if technical and economic prerequisites are met. The city encourages all citizens to participate in this important transition to emission-free heating, with the next opportunity recommended at the earliest convenience.
A press release regarding the heat planning is also available from the city portal. Join Detmold in its mission towards climate neutrality and make the switch to emission-free heating.
