SMARTinfeld.
A daily insight into the village chronicle – and stories about today's people and projects.
History for every day.
Verified facts from the village chronicle will appear here, matched to the date or season wherever possible.
It started with the lights.
Smart street lighting became the starting point for further digital projects. A specific task led to infrastructure that additional applications could build on.
The lighting project ↗An award for an idea.
SMARTinfeld received an award in the “Smarte Kommune” category of the “Digitale Orte” competition. This recognition is part of the project's history; the individual applications demonstrate its everyday benefits.
Explore the projects ↗Generating solar power together.
The community cooperative was founded in 2024. The PV system on the fire station was installed in December 2024. The systems on the sports clubhouse and mayor's office followed in 2025.
Energy and measurements ↗Which story is still missing?
For stories about individual buildings, we collect historical photographs, verified dates and memories with sources. Official building data alone do not tell the village's history.
