battery-electric regional aircraft for up to nine passengers has identified the site that will house the heart of its manufacturing operation
Munich-based manufacturer Vaeridion on Saturday opened its electric battery development lab at the Bosch Collaboration Campus in Holzkirchen
grants Vaeridion access to hardware and services from Bosch General Aviation Technology—the GA arm of the multinational engineering firm—and ITK Engineering
Vaeridion will use the campus to develop powertrains
and cybersecurity compliance for its digital systems
as well as test and integrate its proprietary high-voltage batteries for its flagship Microliner
The facility will run the gamut of battery manufacturing steps
from individual cells to fully integrated modules
In addition to Vaeridion co-founders Ivor van Dartel and Sebastian Seemann
the opening of the center was attended by Bavarian State Government Minister Florian Herrmann and Holzkirchen Mayor Christoph Shmid
“Bavaria is proud of its vibrant startup scene
which benefits from the excellent ecosystem of science
research and technology-passionate policies,” said Herrmann
“Sustainable e-mobility is a future topic with a global market—the development of a battery-powered microliner is therefore a brilliant idea.”
According to a 2018 study
more than 80 percent of Germany’s population lives within 20 kilometers of a regional airfield
Vaeridion’s flagship Microliner is designed to connect those sites and provide a new option for underserved regions
It can also take off and land at large commercial airports
The aircraft’s glider-inspired wing features a high aspect ratio
minimizing drag in cruise and producing a high glide ratio
are integrated there rather than in the fuselage to optimize the aircraft’s weight and travel distance
The manufacturer claims its design flies with the lowest energy consumption for an aircraft seating up to nine passengers plus crew for distances up to 500 km (310 miles)
Working with Aircraft Design Certification GmbH
which owns design organization approval (DOA) from the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA)
Vaeridion hopes to certify the model as a GA aircraft before 2030
By that year, the manufacturer intends to introduce the Microliner on commercial routes in Denmark in partnership with Copenhagen AirTaxi and Copenhagen Helicopter
both based out of Roskilde Airport (EKRK) in Copenhagen
The companies believe the design will be part of a digital platform that allows customers to plan
“The new green aircraft type requires significantly shorter takeoff and landing distances than traditional aircraft
which allows the use of smaller airfields that are no longer utilized for commercial routes,” said Martin Winther Andersen
“These routes were abandoned as aircraft types gradually became larger
allowing us to create a dense network of domestic routes again.”

€25m funding is intended to unite a cutting-edge biotech lab and analytical expertise at Sandoz’s German biosimilar manufacturing site
Sandoz has announced it is investing €25 million in its manufacturing site in Holzkirchen
to expand its biosimilar development capabilities
The company intends to grow its Biopharma Technical Development (BioTD) capabilities and transform the lab building into a state-of-the-art biotech lab by the last quarter of 2023
The financing is intended to bring together these highly advanced laboratories and analytical expertise at one site
and Chief Medical Officer of Sandoz stated that investment will help to position the site as part of a “growing network of BioTD centres.”
The investment “strengthens Bavaria’s position as a leading biotechnology hub” and will help to generate “innovation and job growth” noted Bavarian Prime Minister Dr Markus Söder
capacity expansion and collaboration with universities in Munich and research institutions means that up to 45 full-time employees are expected to join the site
Together with a previous site expansion in 2017
this new funding represents a total investment of nearly €100 million in the company’s German headquarters
In March 2023, Sandoz announced plans to invest at least $400 million in the construction of a new biologics production plant in Lendava

The Holzkirchen geothermal power plant is one of a half-dozen such unobtrusive facilities south of Munich
a city of 1.5 million that intends to be the world’s first municipality of its size to heat most of its homes and businesses with geothermal energy
thus make its entire heating system carbon-neutral by 2040
Some of the additional plants will be on Munich’s outskirts
where district heating grids will be linked with the Bavarian capital
while others will be in the heart of Munich’s busy downtown
“Munich realized that it can’t hit climate targets unless it addresses heating
and Bavaria has deep thermal water flows between the Alps and the Danube that are ideal for geoenergy,” explains Michael Solic of Stadtwerke München
While the Alps’ geological conditions favor geothermal energy
the growing exploitation of this renewable resource in Bavaria shows that many other regions worldwide could tap into geothermal sources to heat homes and buildings and to generate electricity
geothermal energy — basically hot water or steam drawn from the Earth — has been on the margins of the robust rollout of renewables in Europe
where solar and wind power dominate the landscape
geothermal remains a pricey and capital-intensive investment
the danger of triggering earthquakes when deep hydraulic fracking is involved scares off some potential investors
Turkey’s current geothermal capacity is more than the entire 28 countries of the EU combined
Nearly 90 percent of Iceland’s heating comes from its ubiquitous volcanic reservoirs
Other places in Europe have been tapping into geothermal power
which also sits atop an auspicious geological formation
currently provides about 900,000 people with geothermal heat
The French capital also benefits from generous state subsidizes for geothermal energy and is planning to expand beyond the roughly 50 geothermal plants now in operation
Europe’s energy planners say that geothermal energy’s key use will be in heating and cooling
which together account for almost half of the EU’s energy demand
there’s no alternative to geothermal to replace fossil fuels and nuclear power in decarbonizing the heating sector,” says Thomas Reinsch
a geoenergy expert at the Helmholtz Center Potsdam
Geothermal sources can also generate electricity by using steam to drive turbines
The discrepancy between geothermal’s potential and its results has frustrated its enthusiasts
“It’s completely irrational that geothermal is so underused,” says Ingo Sass
a professor of geothermal science at The Technical University in Darmstadt
and economies of scale will follow quickly
and does so 24/7.” Sass notes that geothermal storage — the storing of hot and cold water in underground aquifers — is also coming into play
Most experts agree that awareness and social acceptance of geothermal energy lags behind its technology’s maturity
“Engineers tend to be wary of underground geology because everywhere it has a unique composition,” says Sass
“That means lots of testing and then adjusting every project and the technologies to specific

It took eight years to generate a single kilowatt-hour of energy
The municipality knew it was taking a risk since it had to prove that the geological conditions were right before it could design a business model and apply for bank loans
a second shot would cost the same — money the municipality didn’t have
Drilling costs can run 40 to 70 percent of the total cost of geoenergy plants; in Holzkirchen it was closer to 70 percent
drillers hit a gas bubble that they had to circumvent
which are used to pump geothermal fluids to the surface
“Geothermal: A Cash Cow or Sinkhole?” taunted the daily Münchner Merkur newspaper in 2016
questioning whether Holzkirchen would ever recover its investment
“Heat pumps turn one kilowatt of electricity into three or four kilowatt-hours of heat,” explains Jörg Mühlenhoff of Climate Action Network (CAN) Europe
Some experts warn against overhyping geothermal energy, which carries risks beyond the financial hazards. In Berlin, city authorities have banned geothermal installations
citing extremely permeable subsoil and rock that could lead to geothermal wells contaminating underground aquifers
a technique called enhanced geothermal drilling — which increases subterranean water flows by injecting water into underground formations
similar to techniques used in fracking for oil and gas — has set off earthquakes in some locales
although enhancement drilling in a geothermal well in South Korea in 2017 caused a magnitude 5.4 earthquake that collapsed buildings and injured more than 100 people
For Europe’s far-right parties, climate is a new battleground. Read more
Geothermal wells can extract energy for as long as 50 years before the underground infrastructure collapses. Holzkirchen is now reaping those benefits; even the Münchener Merkur newspaper, the project’s one-time critic, is now overflowing with praise

Battery-electric regional aircraft developer Vaeridion has opened a battery development lab at the Bosch Collaboration Campus in Holzkirchen
The battery laboratory and manufacturing site
designed for all specific manufacturing steps from single battery cells to fully integrated battery modules
marks “another milestone on the path to electric flight,” explains Vaeridion
“The propulsion battery modules are the heart of our aircraft
designed for certification requirements,” said Dr Sebastian Seemann
“In the Bosch Collaboration Campus we have found the ideal facility and supportive spirit to achieve our next goals”
The Munich-based startup is currently developing the Microliner: a nine-passenger
battery-electric fixed wing aircraft designed for regional trips of up to 500km
Vaeridion state it is “designed around the battery system and is optimised for energy efficiency,” with the glider-inspired aircraft featuring wing-integrated modular batteries and a multi-engine
“We [will] integrate over 100 [propulsion battery] modules in the wing
to counteract the lift force and free all cabin space,” added Seemann
Vaeridion is targeting type certification and the start of serial production before 2030

Sandoz’s new penicillin production process will help secure European-based antibiotic supply
Image shows Sandoz's Biosimilar Development Center in Holzkirchen
Two new production facilities have opened in Europe, Sandoz announced on 10 November 2023. The €150 million facility in Kundl, Austria will produce the antibiotic penicillin
while the new €25 million facility in Holzkirchen
Germany will be Sandoz’s new Biosimilar Development Center
Launch of these new facilities help to ensure sustainable access to quality antibiotics and spearhead development of biosimilars
[Sandoz] has the only major remaining vertically-integrated production network for penicillins in Europe”
Penicillins are the leading category of antibiotics worldwide, Sandoz highlighted. The company has the “only major remaining vertically-integrated production network for penicillins in Europe”; thus the new European facilities will play an important role in maintaining adequate supply of these medicines
The new investments “strengthen our industrial presence in Europe [and] reinforce our commitment to environmental responsibility… the Kundl plant is a testament to the resilience of European manufacturing
The new development centre in Holzkirchen will become a global hub for biosimilar expertise,” Richard Saynor
the company’s Chief Executive Officer remarked
Financial investment in the Kundl facility includes a €50 million contribution from the Austrian federal government
This represents a significant upgrade of penicillin active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing
Earlier this month, Sandoz and Teva were the first companies to gain the new global Minimized Risk of Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) certification. At the time of the announcement
Head of the Sandoz AMR Program declare: “This first-of-a-kind certification demonstrates that Sandoz… is taking the necessary steps to ensure responsible manufacturing of [generic antibiotic medicines] – a key pillar of the global AMR response strategy.”
In July, Sandoz shared that it planned to invest approximately $90 million at its European site in Ljubljana
to establish a dedicated Sandoz Biopharma Development Center by 2026
The company stated that the new site will create approximately 200 new full-time jobs once the facility is opened

a charming church – and a brutalist bus station
Jonathan Glancey looks back at a great year in architecture
work has progressed on the reconstruction of Berlin’s very-nearly completed Stadtschloss (City Palace)
this grandiloquent and essentially 18th-Century Baroque palace has been little more than a hazy memory
Eviscerated by Allied bombing during World War Two
in 1950 what remained of it was obliterated by the East German government
its walls pregnant with Baroque but with a distinctly modern style
kings and warring emperors – is intended to be both traditional and modern
Will this new-era national museum and cultural institution be all things to all Berliners; all Germans
one means of bridging the divide between traditional and modern sensibilities
Sculptural skylights double up as skateboard runs and posing platforms for selfiesMuseums
are often buildings through which architects explore new creative avenues and 2018’s collection is no exception
JKMM Architects have dug the new and privately funded 50m-Euro Amos Rex art museum beneath what was a city-centre bus station and
are expressed above ground through sculptural skylights that double up as skateboard runs and posing platforms for selfies
The museum surfaces through the lobby of a handsomely restored 1930s cinema
Amos Rex is a properly Finnish response to the idea of a new city-centre art gallery
It is also the polar opposite of a plan – since scuppered by the City of Helsinki – for a blockbuster Guggenheim museum that was to have been parachuted onto Helsinki’s harbourfront in the wake of an international design competition
The scheme was as appropriate for the Baltic city as a Baroque Prussian palace would be for Casablanca
culture and architecture – old and new – Dundee in Scotland has felt the need for a highly visible new cultural building on the city’s long-neglected Tayside waterfront
an off-shoot of London’s Victoria & Albert Museum
formed of what appear to be two inverted pyramids or the hulks of great ships washed up on the shore
the V&A Dundee belongs to its host city as Amos Rex does to Helsinki
innovative architecture works with rather than against the grain of its setting and this is something we have begun to see more of worldwide in 2018
despite increasing pressure to build crudely and insensitively in the rush to maximise profits from buildings’ sites
One way of maximising social profit is the re-use and renovation of time-worn municipal projects
a death threat had hung over Preston Bus Station in Lancashire
While councillors and developers belittled this increasingly admired brutalist design of the late 1960s by Keith Ingham and Charles Wilson of Building Design Partnership
others saw its architectural and civic qualities
this characterful Grade II-listed civic complex has come back into its own
as a revived bus station – stripped of private sector tat that had accrued over the years – and a dream for film-makers looking for that perfect 1960s setting
it’s a meticulous and thoughtful renewal and remodelling where necessary
John Puttick Associates have demonstrated how civic buildings that the public has paid for deserve more than their usual fate of being turned into yet more shopping centres
In the countryside it has been perfectly possible
to site or even to merge large-scale new buildings into landscapes that gain rather than lose through architectural intervention
On the magnificent Easter Elchies estate in the Scottish Highlands
Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners have designed a new Macallan whisky distillery and visitor centre
It sits under a stealthily ambitious undulating timber roof that
This is a fine-spun yet spirited buildingInside
the gleaming copper whisky stills perform their sorcery in a setting at once cave-and-cathedral-like
With its complex curves and ingenious tracery
the timber roof is a triumph of craft meeting computing
its 380,000 individual elements adding up to a warm and magical whole
a match for the famous wee drams it distils for export worldwide
Two beautiful new places of worship – one in Bavaria
the other on the Argentinian pampas – show how spirituality
landscape and architecture can enfold their wings around one another and take imaginative flight even when money is tight
designed by the Munich architect Eberhard Wimmer
is formed of two elliptical cones – a weekday chapel and feast-day church
the latter 22m – joined by a glazed and flat-roofed walkway
influenced by Holzkirchen’s alpine backdrop
their snow-white interiors glorious interplays of geometric structural patterns
winding and weaving their way up to skylights that cast ever-changing plays of light and shadow over seats
St Josef’s seems charged with alpine air rather than incense
secreted on an estancia some 200km southeast of Córdoba
Designed by the Rosario architect Nicolás Campodonico and made of salvaged farmhouse bricks
its curved western wall is cut away to allow the setting sun to light an interior of utter simplicity
the silhouette of a cross appears as if branded into warm brickwork
soulful architecture rekindle Christ’s cross each evening while celebrating the daily journey of the sun across the hemisphere
as people of all cultures and creeds have done for millennia
Gianni Botsford has brought daylight into both the bright ground-floor kitchen-living room and the hidden depths of his House in a Garden
an exercise in how an ingeniously designed and beautifully resolved house can bloom on the most unpromising city site
Chutes direct daylight down into a subterranean bedroom floor that feels anything but underground and to a swimming pool further below
Although hidden in a way that Berlin’s domed Stadtschloss is very obviously not
the House in a Garden is crowned with a glorious timber and copper-capped roof curved up and askew in order to best capture daylight through a skylight
This is a special house shaped over many years and
it points a way to a future generation of homes not just in cities but in towns and villages
making optimum and intelligent use of ‘brownfield’ sites
Sprawl and new housing estates devouring fields
meadows and entire rural landscapes might yet be contained if those with the power to commission them would only stop and think – and even dare to dream – before they build in years beyond 2018

A former Kansas lawmaker and lifetime KU Endowment trustee died earlier this week
died sometime late Sunday or early Monday at his home in San Francisco
He served in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1999 to 2006 as a Republican
The cause of death is unclear at this time
According to an April 2000 article in the Capital-Journal
Krehbiel had a heart condition that forced him to retire from his job working in the U.S
Krehbiel had surgery to repair a faulty heart valve and then returned to Moundridge
the central Kansas town where he was born and raised
Krehbiel took over the Moundridge Telephone Co.
he was valued by his legislative colleagues for his expertise on communications technology and advocated for deployment of high technology communications infrastructure in rural areas
Krehbiel said he always had considered himself to be a conservative when he was asked about his political philosophy
“But I came up here and found out that there are others who have adopted that term for themselves who are considerably to the right of me,” he said in 2000
referring to the strong anti-abortion faction in the Kansas House at the time
“I’ve always assumed that conservatism meant less government and staying out of people’s lives,” Krehbiel said
According to a news release from the KU Endowment
Krehbiel graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1970 from the University of Kansas with a dual degree in Germanic languages and literature and international relations
He also studied at the University of Southern California
where he earned his master’s degree and doctorate
and at Munich University as an Olmsted Scholar
Krehbiel established an endowed scholarship fund with $1.6 million in support of KU students attending the German summer language institute programs in Holzkirchen and Eutin
Krehbiel participated in the summer program in Germany
“It will enable literally hundreds of students to participate in that same study abroad experience,” William Keel
chairman of the university’s department of Germanic languages and literatures
travel throughout Germany and get to know the language and culture firsthand.”
Krehbiel also funded construction of the Floyd H
and Kathryn Krehbiel Scholarship Hall at KU
A memorial service for Krehbiel is expected sometime in January

a key player in generic and biosimilar medicines
in line with its ongoing plans to strengthen sustainable development and supply of critical medicines in Europe and beyond
“The inauguration of a new facility for the production of penicillin at Kundl
and a new biosimilar development center in Holzkirchen
reaffirm the dual Sandoz commitment to ensuring sustainable access to quality antibiotics and spearheading the development of biosimilars,” the company said in a statement
Sandoz has the only major remaining vertically-integrated production network for penicillins in Europe; penicillins are the leading category of antibiotics worldwide
which includes a contribution of EUR 50 million from the Austrian federal government
represents a significant upgrade of penicillin API (active pharmaceutical ingredient) manufacturing
CEO Sandoz said: “These investments strengthen our industrial presence in Europe
reinforce our commitment to environmental responsibility
and reaffirm our determination to be the world’s leading and most valued generics and biosimilars company
Antibiotics are the backbone of modern medicine and the Kundl plant is a testament to the resilience of European manufacturing
The new development center in Holzkirchen will become a global hub for biosimilar expertise.”
The EUR 25 million Holzkirchen investment will pave the way for the German site to become the leading Sandoz analytical characterization center for biosimilars
The Austrian federal and Bavarian state governments have been highly supportive of these projects
recognizing their importance for ensuring availability of medicines and advancing medical research in Europe
Mahindra & Mahindra is thriving with new product releases and a surge in sales

Two commuter trains somehow collided head on at an estimated 60 mph near Munich on Tuesday
killing at least nine people and injuring many others
The trains collided at a bend on the Mangfall Valley Railway
a single-track regional rail line between the towns of Rosenheim and Holzkirchen
German Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt said
so we must assume that the train drivers must not have been able to see each other beforehand,” he told reporters at a news conference
Both drivers are believed to have been killed
It’s not yet known whether it was a technical or human error that led to both trains being on the same track; the Guardian says both were equipped with automatic brake systems that should have kicked in when/if their drivers failed to stop at a red light signal

Die Geothermie in Holzkirchen ist auf dem Weg zum Happy End
Bürgermeister Olaf von Löwis schaut schon nach vorne - und könnte sich weitere Gemeinden als Partner vorstellen
Holzkirchen - Das Geothermie-Projekt des Markts Holzkirchen hatte seine dramatischen Momente
Das Thermalwasser liefert Fernwärme und klimafreundlichen Strom
Holzkirchens Bürgermeister kann sich weitere Bohrungen vorstellen – dann aber als Gemeinschaftsprojekt mehrerer Gemeinden
innerhalb von sieben Jahren 19,175 Millionen Steuergeld in ein vielversprechendes
aber nicht risikofreies Energieprojekt zu stecken
sei anfangs keinem Gemeinderat leicht gefallen
„Ein enormer Kraftakt.“ Rückschläge bei den Bohrungen und ein Wust an regulatorischen Vorgaben „haben uns unzählige schlaflose Nächte bereitet“
steht der Rathauschef entspannt im offenen Kraftwerksraum
in denen Thermalwasser und das Arbeitsmittel Isobutan zirkulieren
Juli speiste das Kraftwerk erstmals Strom ins Netz
Finanziell hat man sicheren Boden unter den Füßen
wir müssen bei anderen Projekte einige Jahre den Gürtel enger schnallen“
„aber diese Sorge war unbegründet.“ Neben den 19,175 Millionen Direkteinlage in die gemeindeeigene „Geothermie Holzkirchen GmbH“ gewährte das Rathaus dem Tochterunternehmen Kredite in Höhe von 5,825 Millionen Euro
Den Rest des Investments finanziert das Darlehen eines Bankenkonsortiums
Die Wirtschaftlichkeits-Berechnung sieht vor
wenn die garantierte Einspeisevergütung für den Geothermie-Strom ausläuft
Chef der Gemeindewerke und der Holzkirchner Geothermie
Selbst wenn mit Strom dann nicht mehr viel zu verdienen ist
kann die Thermal-Energie das wachsende Fernwärme-Netz der Gemeindewerke bedienen
können wir die Fernwärme-Energie 1:1 verkaufen“
Ob die Energie verstromt wird oder Holzkirchner Haushalten einheizt
regelt ein automatisiertes Computerprogramm – je nach Anforderung
Etwa ein Fünftel Holzkirchens ist ans Fernwärmenetz angeschlossen
„Die Geothermie hat die Nachfrage gesteigert“
den Ort nach und nach mit Hauptleitungen zu durchziehen
betont Götz: „Würden wir überall gleichzeitig aufgraben
bewegt sich in Holzkirchen nicht mehr viel.“
kühlt das zirkulierende Arbeitsmittel Isobutan gut ab
kann im erneuten Durchlauf die Thermal-Energie besser aufnehmen und entwickelt mehr Dampfkraft auf die Turbine
Die künstliche Abkühlung übernehmen 18 mächtige Ventilatoren
Der zu erwartende Wasserdampf gleich neben der viel befahrenen B 318 habe diese Gedankenspiele aber beendet
