Lectures

Total: Holger Wolpensinger has given more than 90 public lectures on sustainable settlements, neighbourhoods and buildings since 1995. The actual number of lectures is significantly higher because, especially in recent years, there have been non-public, exclusive lectures or workshops that were requested and are not listed here. Depending on the topic, the client and the amount of work involved, a lecture fee is normally between 600 and 1,200 euros net plus travelling expenses. If you are interested, we will be happy to make you an offer.
