In the heart of Augsburg, a new initiative is taking shape as the city embarks on a pilot project aimed at promoting sustainable mobility in the neighborhood of Oberhausen-Mitte, Rechts-der-Wertach.
The project, which is connected to ongoing urban development projects in the area, builds on the Climate-resilient neighborhood Oberhausen-Mitte, Rechts-der-Wertach, and the Renewal area Oberhausen No. 11, Rechts-der-Wertach. Its primary goal is to influence mobility habits towards more sustainable forms, providing citizens with customizable, needs-based, flexible, and cost-effective mobility solutions that encourage independence from personal cars.
One of the key participation formats for this project is the Community Mapping, scheduled for 1st October 2025 from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM. During this event, residents are invited to share their experiences and wishes for a livable neighborhood, contributing ideas for neighborhood-based mobility management.
The project is expected to reduce the parking space requirement in the neighborhood, with two parking spaces in Wolfgangstraße already converted into a Carsharing station of the Stadtwerke Augsburg (swa). Additionally, the project aims to expand car, bike, and cargo bike sharing in the neighborhood, making sustainable transportation options more accessible.
A shining example of this commitment to sustainability is the introduction of the sharing E-cargo bike, the LECH ELEPHANT, now available for rental in the neighborhood. Citizens can facilitate the rental of the LECH ELEPHANT via the app Lech-elephant.de.
The organization driving this initiative in the Augsburg inner-city area 'Rechts der Wertach' is not explicitly mentioned in the provided search results. However, the Augsburger Naturschutzallianz, an organization focusing on ecological urban development, has been known to work constructively with relevant authorities in Augsburg, which might be connected to such initiatives.
This project is part of the Augsburg Mobility Plan, a comprehensive strategy aimed at making the city more sustainable and livable for all its residents. With the Community Mapping and other participation formats taking place in the neighborhood, the future of sustainable mobility in Augsburg is one step closer.
