After completing my Bachelor's degree in Geography in Würzburg, I moved to Bayreuth for my Master's degree in Human Geography - Urban and Regional Research (focus on nature conservation). I gained practical experience throughout my studies in a wide variety of areas - Landsberg a.Lech town planning office, German Weather Service, engineering office for flood protection. After the 3rd Master's semester, I worked for another semester as an intern at Green City Energy AG in the area of wind energy project development. This internship also influenced the subsequent thematic orientation of the Master's thesis. It dealt with the municipal control options for the expansion of wind energy in Bavaria. Using case studies from Bavaria, the potential of municipalities in the expansion of wind energy was shown and the extent to which they act as key players in the energy transition. After completing my studies in mid-2014, I started my professional life with a job as a project developer at Green City Energy (Bayreuth regional office). In addition to the acquisition of new wind projects, the field of activity includes, in particular, the compilation of all necessary documents for a permit application in accordance with the Federal Immission Control Act at the responsible district offices. This requires above all spatial planning basics (regional planning, FNP, BP) as well as PC skills (AutoCAD, GIS, WindPro). An interest in the legal framework (lease agreements with owners), technical aspects (function and size of a wind turbine), nature conservation requirements (species protection assessment of the wind protection areas) and economic aspects (calculation of the profitability of wind turbines) is also an advantage for this interdisciplinary and varied field of activity.
