About this project

Matthias Zenger from 1. FC Herzogenaurach 1916 e.V. is responsible for this project
With the aim of making our club fit for the future, relieving people and becoming less dependent on time resources and the weather, we are planning to purchase an autonomous and GPS-controlled robotic lawnmower from March 2025. 

Many local clubs have already taken this step and each of these clubs has encouraged us to do the same because the results are incredibly good. The daily cutting makes the turf denser and fertilizes itself and all the alleged disadvantages have been demonstrably refuted:

  • Theft of the robot is possible, but pointless - it is GPS-tracked and worthless if stolen.
  • No, it can't kill hedgehogs - a sensor makes this impossible and we tested it with the help of a hand brush.
  • Yes, it consumes electricity, but with the help of a balcony power station, it charges itself virtually free of charge in summer and we save on diesel and expensive maintenance costs for our cylinder mower + tractor.
  • Thanks to the regular short cut, we have to fertilize much less and no more compost is produced.
In order to be able to provide our teams from young to old with a much better pitch from 2025, we are also dependent on your donations and are happy about every cent or donation, no matter how small!
