Funded Ventures for Nature in Regensburg: A grand total of €7,000 earmarked for seven diverse nature conservation initiatives
Regensburg's "Energie wird Natur" Event Promotes Local Environmental Projects
In the heart of Regensburg, the "Energie wird Natur" event took place at the Donau-Einkaufszentrum in 2025, attracting numerous committed members of a local association [1]. This unique event was designed to support seven distinct nature projects, each receiving a grant of €1,000, raised through a cycling effort by participants [3].
The participating schools and the Don Bosco Center were integral parts of this community-driven initiative, aimed at promoting and funding local environmental and nature conservation projects. The event not only raised community awareness but also provided financial support, enabling practical ecological work or educational activities connected to nature preservation [1][3].
The specific details about the individual nature projects linked to the schools and the Don Bosco Center were not extensively detailed in the search results. However, the emphasis was on supporting sustainable and ecological initiatives within the Regensburg region through this participative fundraising and engagement framework [3][1].
During the event, a classic battle took place between the FC Bayern Munich fan club Nabburg/Oberpfalz and various Ice Bears fan clubs [2]. The wattage was pushed upwards during numerous donation sprints, with teams such as SSV Jahn Regensburg, the Guggenberger Legionnaires, the Bananenflanke team, the Phoenix Footballers, the women's team of EHC Regensburg, and four facilities of KJF Regensburg joining in the cycling challenge [4].
In the end, it was nature that emerged as the true winner, as the event concluded with a total of over 10,000 watts cycled [5]. The spirit of competition was present, but the primary focus was on participating and engaging for nature projects [6]. The participating students had very positive reactions to the event [7].
Organised and designed by Armin Wolf, the Long Night of Cycling was a testament to the power of community engagement and the collective effort towards a greener and more sustainable future for Regensburg [1]. With the grants distributed and the projects underway, the impact of the "Energie wird Natur" event is expected to be felt throughout the city for years to come.
