Meissen is accelerating at the City Roundabout
Meissen, a historic city in Germany, is set to participate in the STADTRADELN (City Cycling) campaign for the first time in September 2025. This nationwide initiative, part of an international campaign by the Climate Alliance, aims to promote sustainable mobility, climate protection, and improved cycling infrastructure [1][2][3].
By joining STADTRADELN, Meissen City aims to encourage citizens to use bicycles more frequently for daily commutes and trips, thereby reducing automobile traffic. The campaign also aims to strengthen community engagement around environmental protection and sustainability goals, support political and infrastructural efforts for improvements in urban cycling facilities, and contribute to local and national efforts to combat climate change by cutting greenhouse gas emissions [1][2][3][4].
During the 21-day action period from September 1st to 21st, 2025, all Meissen residents are invited to cycle. The objective is to cover as many everyday routes as possible by bike. Participants can form teams or join existing groups, and creative team names, thematic actions, and group bike tours will be positively evaluated [1][2][3].
While the STADTRADELN action in Meissen does not offer any incentives or rewards for participation, awards will be given to the most active teams, individuals, and schools after the action period. The primary goals of the campaign are to raise awareness for climate protection, encourage sustainable, active mobility through bicycling as an alternative to motorized transport, advocate for better cycling infrastructure, and improve the quality of life in municipalities through environmental and health benefits [2][4].
The STADTRADELN action in Meissen is a one-time event, focusing on contributing to environmental and climate protection. Registration for STADTRADELN in Meissen is available online. Every kilometer cycled during the action period contributes to the competition [1][2][3].
Meissen's participation in STADTRADELN is a proactive step towards promoting bicycle use as a sustainable transport mode and advancing environmental protection initiatives consistent with the nationwide goals of STADTRADELN [1][2][3][4].
- In an effort to promote a healthier lifestyle and reduce carbon footprints, Meissen City encourages residents to participate in the STADTRADELN action, integrating cycling as a key component of their daily routines and home-and-garden activities.
- By embracing the STADTRADELN campaign, Meissen joins forces with other cities in advocating science-based solutions for health-and-wellness and fitness-and-exercise, while also supporting the global mission of the Climate Alliance to combat climate change.
- As part of Meissen's dedication to fostering a sustainable lifestyle and improving the city's urban environment, participation in the STADTRADELN campaign will include efforts to transform home-and-garden spaces into eco-friendly oases, encouraging both the local community and city authorities to consider green options for exercising and relaxing.
