Tourist Information Hameln Weserbergland

The Hameln Marketing und Tourismus GmbH (HMT) was founded on the 1st of June 1997 by the partners (Stadt Hameln 75%, Stadtmarketing and Verkehrsverein Hameln e.V. 25%). Until then, the Verkehrsverein Hameln e.V. (founded 1914, some 400 members today) was singularly responsible for the touristic support and activities of the city. In the wake of the incorperation, many of the tasks of the Verkehrsverein were passed on to the HMT. Additionally, „City Marketing“ and the marketing of the convention halls - Weserbergland-Zentrum and Rattenfänger-Halle.

In addition to the bundling of touristic organisations, the especially innovative energy concept is of central importance. The compactness of the building, the high insulation standards, the heat-pump ventilation, and the use of solar energy create a heating requirement of about 20% of that of a conventional building. This low requirement means that a conventional heating system is unnecessary. The ventilation system brings fresh air and maintains a minimum comfortable temperature.
An array of solar collector tubes creates warm water and assists in the heating of the building. Solar cells on the roof and awnings turn the environmentally friendly energy into electricity. Rainwater is reused, and finally, the roof is planted to complete the ecological concept.

The Infocenter is a futuristic example of an environmentally sound construction and an important milestone in Hameln's quest to be known as the "Solar city of the North".
