Ludwigslust cycles strongly: 77,000 kilometers for a better climate!
Ludwigslust, Deutschland - in Ludwigslust, a remarkable impetus was put in the pedals in the period from May 10th to 30th, 2025. As part of this year's “city road campaign”, the city cyclists showed how much can be achieved with a bit of perseverance. A total of 868 participants registered via the app and covered a proud 77,787 kilometers. This saved an estimated 13 tons of carbon dioxide-a clear step towards climate protection and sustainable mobility, for which the Stadtwerke Ludwigslust-Grabow
not only the numbers speak for themselves; The enthusiasm of the participants was also high. A total of 27 teams were at the start in this competition, and the actual number of participants was even around 1,300, including a large number of students. The Ludwigslust station mission and friends took second place in the team ranking with 2,839 kilometers, while Monte cyclists made 2,516 kilometers and took third place. The team from the social service of the Catholic women took first place at 3,237 kilometers and thus became the winner of the campaign.
success of the schools
Especially the schools in Ludwigslust showed impressive achievements. With 262 participants, the Lenné School was the most successful school and covered an impressive 21,963 kilometers. The primary school Fritz Reuter and the primary school Techin also contributed to the overall performance by baring 17,939 and 9,284 kilometers. Not to forget the Edith Stein School, which made a contribution with 213 participants and 965 kilometers. The city plans to appreciate the committed schools in the coming days, which will certainly offer an incentive to pedal again next year.
The high participation shows that cycling is not only an environmentally friendly alternative to the car, but also a sensible way to promote your own health. According to the Federal Environment Agency, up to 30 % of car journeys could be shifted to bike traffic in metropolitan areas. Regular exercise, such as cycling, can also reduce the risk of diseases of civilization and increase life expectancy. Riding the bike is therefore not only environmentally friendly, but also healthy!
A look into the future
Stadtwerke Ludwigslust-Grabow, which took part again this year, actively focus on promoting cycling in everyday life. Your team with the name "Of course energy. From here." has campaigned to protect the climate and encourage many citizens to cycle. Last year, the team landed on Bronze-Platz at the city bike in 2024 and covered 3,495 kilometers. So you have already built a small but fine tradition.
In view of the successes of this city road campaign, further initiatives to improve the cycling infrastructure could follow. Cities like Copenhagen and Münster prove how a positive cycling infrastructure and municipal measures can sustainably promote the use of the bicycle. Ludwigslust could take a closer look at these role models and give the goal of increasing use of bicycles in urban traffic.The results of the city road campaign speak for themselves: 77,787 kilometers, 1300 participants and lots of exemplary commitment to the climate. A nice round comes to an end here - but the next attempt will certainly come!
