Visit the first climate -neutral industrial area in Lörrach!

In the city of Lörrach, something is going on! On Friday, July 18, 2025, the city invites you to a guided tour of the Lauffenmühle area. At this free event, which is part of the "always a summer" series, interested parties can learn more about the exciting development of the first climate -neutral industrial area in wooden construction in Germany at 2 p.m. This is not just about progress, but also about dealing with challenges and the planning process of the former industrial wasteland, which was once used by a textile company.

climate -neutral vision

But what exactly is behind the concept of the Lauffenmühle area? A new industrial area will be created on around nine hectares, which is not only environmentally friendly, but also functionally designed. The vision bears the name "Woodwork" and includes the preservation of the valuable inventory structures. This is particularly evident in the north area of ​​the area, where the “promenade” connects the Brombach district with the train station and serves as a figurehead of the new industrial area. In the south area, a “platform” with flexibly usable commercial bars is to be created, which will house the new halls of the Lauffenmühle. The characteristic canopies made of wooden construction also give the site a chic appearance. Here the trade is not only implemented modern, but also appealing. coido reports .

This project is part of a larger initiative that relies on urban improvements for production locations and at the same time has a look at sustainable urban development. A publication by the Federal Institute for Building, Urban and Spatial Research (BBSR) documents the methodology and knowledge from a research field for the sustainable further development of commercial areas. In particular, the urban planning relevance and the urban renewal needs of conventional commercial areas are emphasized here. BBSR informed .

So if you are interested in innovative urban development concepts and would like to learn more about climate -neutral commercial areas, the event should not miss out on July 18. The future begins in Lörrach - and everyone is welcome to be part of it!
