Exhibition house - Klimahaus Bremerhaven with new operator from January
The announced change of operator at the Klimahaus in Bremerhaven is coming sooner than planned. Bremen-based investor and wind farm entrepreneur Klaus Meier will take over responsibility for the continued operation of the exhibition center from January 1, as he told the German press agency dpa on Friday. He and the previous operator Arne Dunker agreed on this date on Friday night. Dunker, who has been Managing Director of the Klimahaus since it opened in 2009, originally had a contract until the end of June 2024.
"Working for the Klimahaus has always been a matter close to my heart and still fills me with great joy today," said Dunker, according to a statement from the Klimahaus. "It's not an easy farewell, but it was important to me now that the Klimahaus doesn't suffer as a result." The city of Bremerhaven announced in July that Meier would take over the operation of the exhibition center in 2024. A total of three applicants had previously submitted bids in the procedure for the new award of the operating contract. Dunker wanted to remain the operator.
The Klimahaus is one of the most successful tourist attractions in the federal state of Bremen. It offers the opportunity to take a journey along the eighth degree of longitude - through different climate zones. The aim is to get people interested in the topic of climate and to show how fascinating and worthy of protection the earth is.
According to Meier, the new operator, will take on all 130 employees and is planning further recruitment. "The Klimahaus should become more of a center and an active player in the climate debate," he said. "Protecting the climate doesn't have to scare us, it can and will enrich and improve our lives."
Meier wants to transform the company into a non-profit limited company. Profits are to remain in the Klimahaus in future and be used for investments in exhibitions and events, for example. The current Head of Marketing, Ingrid Hayen, who has been working at the Klimahaus since 2014, is to become Managing Director.
According to the press release, the previous operator Dunker intends to devote more time to the German Climate Foundation, which he initiated in 2009. The foundation is to be relocated from Bremerhaven to Bremen.
