bachelor thesis
A Bachelor's thesis at the Chair of Landscape Planning offers the opportunity to deal intensively with the content-related and methodological issues of the subject area, either in terms of scientific theory and/or planning. Finding, narrowing down and expanding the topic are part of the project in the subject area. Suggestions are provided by studies or current specialist discussions. In addition, topics are also requested by communities and associations. The range of possible topics is therefore very diverse and can be expanded or modified at any time through individual suggestions. The topics are largely worked on independently.
Table of contents
Topics for bachelor theses in landscape planning in the summer semester 2025
If you are interested, please send an e-mail to Prof. Schmidt! The topics can also be worked on by several people. From 20.2.- 10.3.25 Mrs. Schmidt is not available due to vacation, during this period please contact Dr. Seidler or Dr. Hanke. Individual topics are gladly supported, please let us know if you have any ideas. Workstations can be reserved via Ilka Werblow.
The following topics, which are also illustrated in the video, will be offered in the coming summer semester.
Please register the topics at the teaching area by March 19, 2025 at the latest (better well in advance, as the number of places is limited).
1. pockau valley
For the planning area around the Pockau Valley in the Ore Mountains (Strobelmühle), either a climate adaptation concept or a recreation concept or a biotope network concept or a cultural landscape concept or a water concept or a soil protection concept can be developed, depending on your preferences. The advantage of this topic is that the plan area is the subject of SP4 in SS 2025 and therefore a range of planning bases can be made available. In addition, students can take part in the intensive week from April 7-11 for a cost contribution of 60 euros, providing a quick and good introduction to the planning task. The task is to carry out a topic-related analysis and evaluation analogous to SP4 (in individual work, not as a group). On this basis, a concept with objectives and measures is to be developed for the selected protected asset, whereby the task is reduced compared to SP 4 and adapted to the processing time.

2. between Geberbach and Lockwitzgrund
Between the built-up outskirts of Dresden and the A17 highway, a rather hidden, but no less attractive landscape unfolds: in the middle of it there is a nature reserve called Trutzsch and the two notch valleys of the Lockwitzgrund and the Geberbach are also parts of the landscape worthy of protection. At the same time, however, there are also cleared farmland areas, piped watercourses, noise from the highway and a great deal of settlement pressure. How can the plan area be developed as a landscape in the future? In the bachelor thesis, a landscape development concept is to be drawn up that combines two environmental assets. For example, aspects of species and biotope protection can be the focus and combined with aspects of soil and erosion protection, or recreational aspects can be brought into focus and linked with the recording of cultural landscape elements (e.g. archaeological trail). The bodies of water in the plan area also offer exciting conceptual possibilities that can be combined with species and biotope protection aspects or recreational aspects. The list is not exhaustive; individual forms of the topic are required.

3. the butterfly mountain
The Proschhübel includes a disused landfill site, which offers wonderful views over
Dresden and, due to its proximity to the Heller FFH area, is also a habitat for

But how? The task of the bachelor thesis is a landscape planning design for the
Proschhübel that combines recreation and nature conservation - especially the protection and
butterflies - with each other. The design is to be illustrated in spatial representations,
sections and visualizations and to be detailed in suitable sub-areas.
detailed in suitable sub-areas. The meadow vegetation for butterflies, for example, can be a possible area for further development.

4. environmental impacts of agri-PV systems
Agri-PV systems represent a comparatively new form of utilization in which high
photovoltaic modules are combined with an agricultural use below or in between.

field of study. On the other hand, an international literature research and an evaluation of
The potential environmental impacts of the various forms of agrivoltaic systems are to be systematized and proposals for nature conservation requirements for the future design of agrivoltaic systems are to be developed.
