World record attempt: largest living wind turbine in Herrenberg on Sunday!

Next Sunday, June 29, 2025, a spectacular world record attempt will take place in Herrenberg, which puts wind power into the spotlight. The largest lively wind turbine in the world is to be created. An impressive rotor diameter of 30 meters and a maximum height of 40 meters is planned, whereby over 300 people will take part in a synchronic movement to simulate the rotors. The current record, set up by IG Windkraft in Austria in 2017 with 260, could write history. Gäubote reports of the joy of this initiative in Germany, which also brings with it a greeting from IG Wind from Austria.

The event, which takes place on the Festwiese Herrenberg on Jahnweg, begins at 1 p.m. with an informative cultural program. The focus is on the message "Energy in Citizens: Inner-Hand", which emphasizes the citizen participation and the financial advantages through cooperative shares. The actual world record attempt starts at 3 p.m. The event is accompanied by a family program that includes food, drinking and numerous activities for children, as well as musical contributions from young people from the Herrenberg Percussion Ensembles and other artists. A total of over 300 participants are planned to form the wind turbine. Zwertwind Herrenberg emphasizes that the wind turbine in Herrenberg should actually turn, in contrast to the Viennese record.

celebration for energy transition

The goal of the event is to set a sign of wind power as a clean and inexpensive energy source. The initiators are local citizens' initiatives and wind power organizations that campaign for the promotion of renewable energies. This includes the tail wind of Herrenberg and wind power initiatives between the Schwäbischer Alb and Black Forest. By calling up to the establishment of operator models that enable local profits, as well as the support of species aid programs, citizens should benefit from decentralized energy generation.

The journey to the event is facilitated by several options: an organized star trip by bike, a short walk from Herrenberg train station and free parking spaces for cars create opportunities for everyone interested. Participants are invited to wear suitable headgear if they want to remain anonymous. The contact address info@rueckenwind-herrenberg.de is available for further information on the event.

The event not only promises an exciting experience for all generations, but also a clear political message for a sustainable energy future in Germany. The event is supported by various organizations that work for wind power and renewable energies.
