Refurbishment 2025 action days
Following the success and great demand of the past two years, numerous events will take place again this year from May 5 to 25, 2025 as part of the Refurbishment Action Days.
These were launched in 2023 by the city and district of Hof, the district of Wunsiedel im Fichtelgebirge and the city and district of Bayreuth as a cooperation project with the aim of offering citizens a wide range of information on the subject of building renovation.
The Renovation Days 2025 impressively demonstrate the gems that can be created if you dare to renovate an older building. In addition to impressive property tours, private individuals and experts will provide valuable first-hand tips, while expert presentations and advice for those looking to renovate round off the varied program.
The spectrum of topics ranges from classic renovation of old buildings, renovation with natural building materials, resource-saving renovation and recycling of materials to barrier-free conversion, changing heating systems in existing buildings and advice for citizens on funding opportunities.
"Renovating old buildings is not only an act of sustainability, but also an opportunity to keep our cities alive and fill vacant buildings with life. We want to encourage people in our region to renovate their existing properties - owners, planners and interested parties can share valuable experience and practical knowledge in a personal exchange. Together, we can conserve resources, preserve the charm of urban development and pave the way for climate-friendly, sustainable projects," emphasize the district administrators from Hof, Wunsiedel and Bayreuth, Dr. Oliver Bär, Peter Berek and Florian Wiedemann, as well as the two city leaders from Hof and Bayreuth, Eva Döhla and Thomas Ebersberger.
