What Zeiten°Grad - Krug und Poggemann eGbR does

Zeiten°Grad - Krug und Poggemann eGbR is a German climate consulting partnership based in Kiel, Schleswig-Holstein, founded in 2022 by Dr. Sebastian Krug and Dr. David-Willem Poggemann. The firm provides integrated consulting services in climate protection, climate adaptation, and sustainability, organized around six action fields: Wärmewende (heat transition), Stromwende (energy transition), Mobilitätswende (mobility transition), Konsumwende (consumption transition), CO2-Bindung (carbon binding), and Klimaanpassung (climate adaptation). A dedicated Personalkapazitäten (personnel capacity building) service line extends the offering beyond project consulting into long-term staffing support for municipal climate offices.

The firm's primary customer segment is municipalities (Kommunen) in Schleswig-Holstein, including cities, towns, and Ämter (municipal associations) that require external support for regulatory-driven activities such as municipal heat planning (kommunale Wärmeplanung), climate protection concepts, and energetic quarter concepts. Documented clients include Gemeinde Harrislee, Stadt Glinde, Amt Eidertal, Stadt Rendsburg, Landeshauptstadt Kiel, Stadt Husum, Gemeinde Timmaspe, and Amt Itzstedt, plus adjacent state and institutional clients such as the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of the Interior, Stadtwerke Lübeck, Nordkolleg Rendsburg, AWO Landesverband Schleswig-Holstein, and punker GmbH. The consulting approach is implementation-oriented, with familiarity in administrative and municipal political processes.

The business model is professional services, billed via flexible hourly packages (Stundenpakete) and project-based engagements. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Distribution is purely direct-to-client, with no intermediaries, resellers, or digital channels; the firm's website (zeitengrad.de) and client referrals are the primary marketing channels. The firm operates as an eGbR (eingetragene Gesellschaft bürgerlichen Rechts), a German civil law partnership, with no external investors, parent company, or institutional ownership. With 6 employees reported in firmographics (9 team members visible on the website, including two managing directors, one senior consultant, several consultants, a junior consultant, and team assistance), the firm is small, founder-led, and geographically concentrated in northern Germany. No patents, awards, regulatory actions, funding rounds, or merger and acquisition activity are associated with the company.
