The conservation of green spaces and species diversity in urban environments are urgent requirements if we want to meet the climate targets set. In the spring of 2021, a green roof was created as an inner-city ecological compensation area as part of a roof refurbishment.
 The greened roof offers many advantages for climate adaptation, the conservation and promotion of species diversity or as a component of rain management.

The green roof is a further building block in MUK’s sustainability commitment and in achieving the Hanseatic City’s climate targets. The subject of biodiversity is thus given the attention it deserves. Four bee colonies producing approx. 140 kg of the popular MUK honey every year have been making a further contribution to this biodiversity since 2014.

The sun is bringing Lübeck’s largest and most significant concert hall to light. The photovoltaic system was inaugurated in the summer of 2013. The system on the MUK’s roof consists of almost 170 modules. The power they provide corresponds to the annual consumption of 10 four-person households – on paper, this is sufficient to light the whole concert hall. 

The Music and Congress Centre (MuK) is the largest event centre in Schleswig-Holstein. For over a decade, this music and event centre has attached great importance to ecological, sustainable conduct. These principles are deeply embedded in the company’s mission statement. Besides its environmental responsibility, the MuK also plays an active role on the social and cultural stage. It offers trainee places, supports school projects such as Plant for the Planet and MUNOL, collaborates with Kulturtafel Lübeck and it is setting the tone both socially and culturally with its own MUK New Horizons series.
