Energy: what keeps us going?

Marno Schulze, Professor of Elementary Music Pedagogy at the Music Academy in Lübeck says that Singing can possibly be compared to therapy. Even after a strenuous, energy-sapping Monday, singing together in your own choir can lead to undreamt-of strength. And if he’s on the way home then prefers to ride a bike instead of a Porschethis is already a real step in the direction of the mobility turnaround.

Clemens Kerssen, deputy spokesman for the Science center for electromobility, power electronics and decentralized energy supply at the Technical University of Lübeck. Concrete he works on e-charging stations for e-cars. A holistic approach is important to him. In terms of technology, there is acceptance among the population, but there is still a need Measures are comprehensible and as interdisciplinary as possiblebecause only in this way can everyone be taken along in the truest sense of the word.

Selina Voigt, a medical student at the University of Luebeck and voluntary work in the environmental department of the AStA and at Greenpeace. You already know from medicine “There is no glory in prevention”, but now is the time to act to achieve important climate goals for the future. This requires not only mass demonstrations, but individuals with a mission and a sense of duty.

Erik Culemann has quite a bit of that to offer. The student of Sustainable building technology (formerly energy and building engineering) at the TH Lübeck developed this with fellow students Startup “Echolution”, which offers an energy efficiency program for energy consultants. The idea behind it is that Building sustainably and efficiently. The efficiency must be higher than the investment, otherwise it is difficult to convince the builder. What the reward dopamine has to do with it and what the four guests get their energy from: Hear for yourself!

Moderated by Theresia Lichtlein, Head of Communications at the Technical University of Lübeck, the Podcast from Lübeck to the power of 3 once a month topics of research, culture and society. Representatives of the three universities involved in the project (Lübeck University of Music, Lübeck University of Applied Sciences and Lübeck University of Applied Sciences) and, depending on the topic, an expert as a guest are invited.

The podcast is available through the website www.gedankenspruenge-podcast.de and all common platforms ready for retrieval. The consequences go every Wednesday in the middle of the month at 12 noon on-line.

Knowledge transfer, mutual dialogue and new ideas – this is what Lübeck stands for 3. The initiators and representatives of the three universities see their own podcast as an important building block to stimulate discourse with society about science and culture.

The panel discussion in episode 25:

Prof. Marno Schulze studied in Leipzig piano and composition and at the Carl Orff Institute of the Salzburg MOZARTEUM music and movement education. He worked at music schools, in kindergartens and in further training for teachers, educators and social workers. Schulze held various teaching positions and headed the “Elementary Music Education” department at the Lausitz University of Applied Sciences in Cottbus. Participating in and developing his own projects is one of the focal points of his pedagogical work. In his elementary music and movement theater, he integrates language, sound and movement into an expressive overall concept. As a choir director and piano teacher, Schulze continuously looks beyond his area of ​​expertise and can make impulses mutually usable. Since 2012 he is Professor of Elementary Music Pedagogy at the Lübeck University of Music.

Clemens Kerssen (M.Sc.) is a trained electronics technician, studied electrical engineering and applied information technology at the TH Lübeck and worked from being a research assistant in a research group at the university to Deputy Head of the Science Center for Electromobility, Power Electronics and Decentralized Energy Supply (EMLE) high. In the science center, Kerssen develops in a team led by Prof. Dr. Roland Tiedemann among others one Fast charging station for e-cars. In a further focus, the engineers at the Science Center are researching a concept for decentralized energy supply.

Selina Vogt is in her 9th semester medicine at the University of Lübeck. In her medical studies and also in the clinics, it becomes particularly clear how seriously lifestyle and global warming affect the health system and how much health can benefit from climate protection. This encourages them to devote themselves to the topic of the climate crisis in their diverse commitments and to make its effects visible. In the last semester, for example, she helped organize the “Climate Perspectives” series of lectures with the AStA’s environmental department and was involved in the organization of the Studium Generale “Climate – Change – Thinking” last year. She is outside of the student environment Contact person for climate and energy at Greenpeace Lübeck and group coordinator and also active in Fridays for Future Lübeck and the climate decision Lübeck.

Erik Culemann has been studying “Energy and Building Engineering for a Bachelor’s degree (today Sustainable Building Technology) at the TH Lübeck since the winter semester 2020/2021. In addition to his involvement in student committees, Culemann works in an engineering office that specializes in the areas of sustainable construction, energy efficiency, life cycle costs of buildings, building physics and acoustics. He also carries on his enthusiasm for his subject in his own ideas: in a program for motivated students with a start-up idea he developed the startup “Echolution” with his fellow students Maximilian Fleischhauer and Jannis Rex in the founding office in 2022. They were able to convince with their concept for an energy efficiency program for energy consultants and won the founding office of the GründerCube and participation in the Gateway49 accelerator program.

The presenter Theresia Lichtlein has been with us since 2016 Head of Communications at the Technical University of Lübeck. In addition to the podcast “Gedankensprung” she moderates online and offline events, workshops and panels on science, business and academic life. “The podcast GEDENKENSPRÜNGE shows like no other format what different associations a keyword can trigger in different people,” she explains. “I find it incredibly fascinating when these perspectives collide and our world view expands. Our guests as well as our listeners can benefit from the perspectives of others and draw inspiration.”
