Student working groups at HSWT

Climate protection, animal welfare & community - here you can get involved

Save the bees! Really!

Always wanted to know more about the bees and flowers? Are you ready to work with royal creatures? Do you want to harvest liquid gold?

If you want to get involved with our environment, get to know nature from a completely different perspective and learn more about the fascinating life of these little insects in the beehive - then you've come to the right place.

We meet regularly after lectures to inspect our bee colonies or to work on the apiary. A very special event is the joint honey extraction several times a year, which we also like to conclude with a pizza dinner or barbecue. Participation in all our meetings is of course voluntary, but well worthwhile. The AK Biene consists of about 20 students from a wide variety of majors. We also include about 15 queen bees and, in high season, about half a million worker bees and 12,000 drones. We welcome experienced beekeepers, those who want to become beekeepers, and students who are not afraid of bees.

You are welcome to stop by the apiary at Lange Point and get to know us. We look forward to meeting you! Honey-sweet greetings, the AK Bee

An independent group of students of the study program Management of Renewable Energies carries out the project "Sustainable Climate Education Freising". The AK has set itself the task of bringing topics of renewable energies, sustainability and climate change to schools.

In cooperation with schools in Freising, teaching units as well as workshops are designed and carried out with the students. It is particularly important that the students can actively participate in experiments and lectures. The project is currently running successfully in grades 8 to 10, with the university providing support in the form of teaching materials and helping with the organization.

Every student of the renewable energy management program can easily participate. Registration takes place via the elective module "AK Nachhaltige Bildung" and is completely non-binding.

"We musicians, united by playing and singing, are friends for life."

If you are still looking for a fun and friendly brass band as a change of pace from your studies, then you've come to the right place!

We are a student brass band that focuses on fun and friendship in addition to music. Our repertoire ranges from classical Bavarian-Bohemian brass music to modern and well-known pieces of brass music. In our weekly rehearsals we naturally work towards many performances during the semester. From musical framings to events of the university, to dormitory and May festivals, we do it all - not to forget the "Glühweinspielen" of course!

Our music folders are well filled for the following instrument groups: Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone, Trumpet, Flugelhorn, Tenorhorn, Baritone, Trombone, Tuba and Percussion. Of course, folders can be created for other wind instruments at any time!

We are looking forward to all musicians - no matter if beginner or professional!

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us!

The Knosporus campus garden is a non-profit garden for students. We have an area which we plant and enliven together. The garden team meets once a week to replant, weed or implement other projects. In addition, there is a plenary meeting about once every one or two months to discuss projects. Everything is organised collectively. In addition, the garden can be used freely during the rest of the time; it is always open for members to spend time there, to garden or to make a campfire in the evening. Sometimes there is also a party to enjoy our harvest and the garden together.  The garden can not only be used by the members of Knosporus, but is also used for teaching events. For example, the module of the Campusackerdemie, where students learn to create a school garden with children.

Are you passionate about organic farming and sustainable land use? Would you like to contribute your ideas for sustainable agriculture? You want to discuss, network, meet exciting speakers and broaden your horizons?

Then you've come to the right place! We as Öko-AK want to set impulses for a social-ecological change ! On campus and beyond!

We are a group of students at the Weihenstephan campus who are interested in ecological land use issues. We want to raise and deepen issues around sustainable land use, food systems and a socio-ecological transformation. To this end, we organise lectures, discussions, excursions and film screenings.

Curious? Then come along to our open Öko-AK regulars' table every 2nd Tuesday of the month at Café Übrig in Freising, or write to us on Instagram or by email.

We look forward to seeing you!
