Bayerische BauAkademie pays a visit to the Campus Feuchtwangen Kick-off for lively exchange among neighbours On 16 June, the Campus Feuchtwangen welcomed twelve interested employees from the neighbouring Bayerische BauAkademie. Laboratory engineer Oliver Abel first led the group through the innovative research building and explained its special technical features: "The building is an Efficiency House Plus educational building - i.e. the photovoltaic system mounted on the roof generates more energy than we consume annually. The walls are built in a combined timber post and timber frame construction. The exterior facade is made of [...]

Campus with new flags and information board A few weeks ago, the Feuchtwangen city marketing department provided us with three new flags. Thanks to the much larger lettering in the new design, Campus Feuchtwangen is now clearly recognisable as such and easy to find. The building yard of the city of Feuchtwangen has also recently installed an information board in front of our research building. Visitors and interested parties can thus find out about our innovative plus-energy building and the drone academy on site at any time, in addition to studies and research. [...]

STUDFEU - Study in Feuchtwangen Studying doesn't always mean just poring over books and learning! Every study programme also includes a life away from the campus and your own four walls.

Fawn rescue Drones as a tool for rescuing young wildlife Young wild animals often lie in the middle of meadows in the high grass between the beginning and middle of May and are therefore easily overlooked and killed during mowing. Farmers call in hunters to comb the meadows on foot and look for young game. However, this can be done much faster with the help of drones with thermal imaging cameras that fly over the meadows and can thus locate fawns. Dietrich Schneider from the Bavarian Drone Academy, who offers his services as a drone pilot and [...]

Electromobility at Campus Feuchtwangen Reasonable enhancement of the portfolio for all students A good one and a half years ago, a team led by professors Stefan Weiherer and Michael Walter demonstrated how a bioethanol-powered auxiliary heater for the passenger compartment can relieve the load on the vehicle's own battery and thus increase the range of electric vehicles. To this end, four students drove the university's own research e-vehicle, a specially converted Renault ZOE, to the partner university in Seinajöki, Finland, 2500 km away, and collected plenty of data and experiences along the way. At the end of [...]
