Sports facility refurbishment - now with up to 50 % funding from the federal states
August 7, 2025
If tennis, all-purpose, equestrian or field hockey clubs have one thing in common, it is usually this: a lack of money. Especially when the traditional clubs operate halls that are getting on in years. Or there is a general need for refurbishment. The costs of modernization are often difficult to bear. But there is good news: the federal states are helping clubs financially and supporting the renovation of sports facilities with up to 50 % in funding*.
One of the biggest components of traditional clubs is the heating system in the halls. Why? Because they come under pressure from two directions: On the one hand, due to the far too high consumption costs of old heating systems, and on the other, due to the climate protection requirements that legislators place on heating systems. However, the renovation of old heating systems often appears to be a major construction site that is also too costly. It is postponed year after year.
"We receive a total of up to 40 % subsidies and effectively heat where the heat needs to go."
E. Katschke, ESV Ingolstadt-Ringsee e.V.
Yet the timing for heating renovation has rarely been so favorable. Clubs not only benefit from the sports facility subsidy, they also significantly reduce their energy consumption by using modern infrared hall heating solutions. This is because highly efficient heating is only used when the hall or individual pitches are in use. This pays off in many respects:
- Clubs benefit sustainably from low energy costs (savings of 40-70 percent)
- Entsprechend reduzieren sie die CO₂-Emissionen und leisten einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Energiewende
- They meet the statutory climate protection requirements
Die jüngste Generation Infrarotheizungen heißt Fair.AIdH. Mit Systemen wie FUTURA, FUTURA E, MAXIMA E-Hybrid oder ELEXTRA lassen sich heute schon erneuerbare Energien wie Netz- oder PV-Strom nutzen und skalierbar bis 100 % CO₂-frei heizen. Damit stellen sich Vereine wirtschaftlich und zukunftssicher auf. Bis weit nach 2045. Weitere Informationen finden Sie unverbindlich here.
* The funding rate may vary depending on the federal state if the hall operator is a club, association or local authority. The funding programs of the respective federal states apply. Please also refer to the relevant information here.

The renovation project Since 1994, the halls at the main site in Neuss have been heated with a central hot air system using a gas-powered hot water boiler system, which resulted in high energy costs. In order to achieve the company's own ambitious climate targets and increase efficiency, it was decided in 2021 to convert to a modern, decentralized heating system. In collaboration with the engineering firm Enviconsult, a heat demand analysis was carried out and [...] -
