At BESSY II photon energies above 2keV can be produced only with bending magnets, a permanent magnet wiggler, superconducting (SC) wavelength shifters and a SC-wiggler. The wiggler brilliance suffers from the depth of field effect and the bending magnets and wavelength shifters produce the X-rays only with a single pole. Experiments such as HIgh Kinetic Energy photoelectron spectroscopy (HIKE) or microspectroscopy on nanostructured materials demand a high brilliance and flux as it is provided by a small period cryogenic undulator. This paper discusses the requirements for the operation of small gap cryogenic devices at BESSY II. A scheme with two adjacent, vertical low beta sections inside of one of the long straight sections is suggested. The straight is divided into two parts by a quadrupole triple in the center. An optic with an increased, vertical beta tune by 0.5 is presently studied. The optics outside of the low beta section and the horizontal tune are kept unchanged.
