Sustainability Market Schwachhausen

A Market for the Heat Transition

How can I heat my house in a climate-friendly yet affordable way? This question directly affects many homeowners — and this is precisely where the Schwachhausen Sustainability Market comes in. On Sunday, May 31, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., the premiere will take place at Benqueplatz. The first sustainability market in the district focuses on the heat transition — with free admission.

Advice Instead of Lectures

The concept is deliberately practical: no long lectures, but information stands, independent advice, and direct conversations with experts. Participants include the Verbraucherzentrale Bremen (Consumer Advice Centre Bremen), the Energiekonsens climate protection agency, the Bremer Aufbau-Bank, solar companies like Adler Solar, 1Komma5°, and Balkoniestrom, as well as the Bremen Zero association. Neutral information on heating technology, energy saving, and funding programmes will be provided. Children are also catered for: they can colour climate protection postcards and try out the game 'The Mayor's Challenge'.

Neighbourhood Engagement with Impact

Behind the market is Die Wachmannstraße e.V., a neighbourhood association from Schwachhausen, in cooperation with the Bremische Bürgerschaft (Bremen Parliament). The market shows how neighbourhood engagement and a concrete future topic can come together — low-threshold information where people live, instead of abstract climate debates.

At Benqueplatz in Schwachhausen

The venue is Benqueplatz in the Schwachhausen district, one of Bremen's greenest and most residential neighbourhoods. Its central location makes the market an easily accessible meeting point for the neighbourhood.
