World record attempt in Herrenberg: The biggest lively wind turbine is created!

Festwiese Herrenberg, Jahnweg, 71083 Herrenberg, Deutschland - An exciting event is imminent: On Sunday, June 29, 2025, the world record attempt for the largest lively wind turbine in the world will take place in Herrenberg. Organized by the Citizens' Initiative Zwindwind Herrenberg in cooperation with several wind power initiatives, it will be a festival to promote renewable energies and regional energy production. The planned dimensions for the living wind turbine are impressive - with a rotor diameter of 30 meters and a maximum height of 40 meters, the record attempt will offer a significant backdrop.

AUSTURE HOLDS OF THE REPORT with 260 participants, set up in Vienna in 2017. But the organizers in Herrenberg are optimistic: over 300 people are expected to simulate a wind turbine together by running synchronously. "Energy in Citizens: Interior: Interior" is the motto of the event, which wants to set a clear sign of wind power as a clean and cheap future energy, reports Gäubote .

diverse festival program

The event promises much more than just attempted records. An informative cultural program begins from 1 p.m. in which the first speaker, Environment Minister Thekla Walker, will take the floor. Other speakers are representatives of the Ingersheim citizens' initiative and the humanitarian aid organization "Three Musketeers Reutlingen e.V.". In addition, musical contributions are offered by young people from the Herrenberg Percussion Ensembles and other artists.

For the small hunger in between, sales stands will offer a colorful selection of dishes, including pizza, crepes, Turkish specialties and refreshing ice cream. A family program with handicrafts for children will also not be missing to make the event attractive for all age groups.

on the road - arrival to the festival meadow

The organizers offer several options for the journey: a star trip by bike leads from over ten starting points to Herrenberg. Train travelers only have to plan a 15 -minute walk from the train station to the festival meadow, and drivers find free parking spaces opposite the festival meadow. So anyone who wants to actively participate in the world record attempt.

Citizen participation plays a central role in this context, especially since the demands on renewable energies and their acceptance are increasingly in focus. It turns out that the topic of citizen participations in wind and solar projects is in demand. Initiators such as EECO have already published several guidelines that help local decision-makers and projectors successfully implement citizen participation, such as Renewable Energies reported. The event in Herrenberg will not only be a highlight for the participants on site, but could also serve as a model for similar projects in the future.

For everyone who not only want to experience the record attempt as a spectator, but would like to actively participate, there is the opportunity to contact us at info@rueckenwind-herrenberg.de . The team is motivated to include the citizens in the energy transition and shows that the commitment to renewable energies is also very regionally anchored.
