Dealing with high heat

High temperatures, more frequent and longer heatwaves are increasingly causing health problems among the population in cities and communities, and for some people temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius pose a serious risk.

For emergency information in case of extreme heat

Map of cool places

To meet the challenges of increasing heat in the city, the city of Aachen has published an interactive map of cool places.

This shows places throughout the city where people can spend time in high temperatures - whether to rest, take a deep breath or cool down. The map also shows free drinking water options - for example public drinking fountains or refill stations in stores and public facilities. This helps people on the move in particular to stay hydrated even on hot days.

To the map

Enter your own favorite cool places

Particularly important: the map depends on the participation of citizens. Anyone who knows of a pleasantly shady, airy or particularly cool place - for example a quiet park, a seating area near the water or a green courtyard area - can add it to the map with just a few clicks. In this way, a collection of cool places is created step by step via everyone's swarm knowledge, from which everyone benefits.

Refill Germany

Refill Germany is a non-profit initiative that aims to promote access to free drinking water while protecting the environment by reducing the use of single-use plastic bottles.
The concept is simple: at all Refill Stations (stores, cafés, restaurants, public facilities), you can bring your own drinking vessel (bottle, mug, jam jar, etc.) and have it filled with tap water free of charge. Refill stations are facilities with clear opening hours that have joined the Refill network. Look out for the refill sticker on the door or window.
