Eine Zusammenfassung seines Vortrags im Parlament und dessen Kernpunkte finden Sie hier
🌾 1. Preservation of rural cultural landscapes
The farm is part of a historically evolved agricultural landscape. The listed buildings represent European rural heritage and contribute to the preservation of traditional land use patterns and cultural identity in rural areas.
- Part of a historically developed cultural landscape
- Listed buildings as cultural heritage assets
- Preservation of traditional land-use patterns
- Contribution to European rural cultural identity
The project contributes directly to the safeguarding of a historically evolved agricultural landscape. The listed buildings represent an integral part of European rural heritage and embody traditional land-use patterns that have shaped the region over centuries. Their preservation ensures the continuity of cultural identity in rural areas and supports the maintenance of characteristic landscape structures.
🔄 2. Multifunctional agriculture and rural diversification
Beyond agricultural production, the farm supports diversified rural development activities such as direct marketing, agritourism, educational programs, or local value creation. This strengthens the resilience and economic viability of rural areas.
- Agriculture combined with additional functions (diversification)
- Direct marketing of agricultural products
- Agritourism and visitor activities
- Educational and outreach programs
- Strengthening local value creation
- Increasing economic resilience of the farm
The holding supports a multifunctional agricultural model that extends beyond primary production. Planned and existing activities such as direct marketing, agritourism, educational use, and local value creation contribute to the diversification of rural economic activities. This strengthens the economic resilience of the farm and enhances sustainable development opportunities within the rural region.
🌱 3. Sustainable renovation and adaptive reuse
The project prioritizes the renovation and continued use of existing historic structures instead of demolition and new construction. This reduces CO₂ emissions, preserves embodied energy, and supports resource-efficient development.
- Renovation instead of demolition and new construction
- Reduction of CO₂ emissions
- Preservation of embodied energy (grey energy)
- Resource-efficient construction approach
- Sustainable use of existing building stock
The project prioritizes the renovation and continued use of existing historic buildings over demolition and new construction. This approach significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions associated with construction activities, preserves embodied energy, and promotes resource-efficient development. It thereby contributes to EU climate and sustainability objectives, including circular economy principles.
🏛️ 4. Preservation of traditional building and farming heritage
The listed farm buildings represent tangible agricultural and architectural heritage, contributing to the continuity of traditional rural building culture and historical farming practices in Europe.
- Preservation of traditional architectural heritage
- Protection of agricultural listed structures
- Safeguarding historical farming practices
- Transmission of regional building traditions
- Protection of tangible cultural heritage
The listed farm buildings represent tangible cultural heritage of agricultural and architectural significance. Their conservation ensures the continuation of traditional rural building culture and the preservation of historically rooted farming practices. The project safeguards this heritage for future generations while maintaining its functional integration into contemporary agricultural use.
🌍 5. Rural structural development and regional stability
The project helps prevent vacancy and structural decline in rural areas, supports local employment, and strengthens regional development by maintaining an active, productive farm within the community.
- Prevention of building vacancy
- Combating rural structural decline
- Safeguarding local employment
- Strengthening regional economic cycles
- Stabilization of the local community
The project contributes to preventing structural decline and vacancy in rural areas by maintaining an active, productive agricultural enterprise. It supports local employment, strengthens regional economic linkages, and enhances the socio-economic stability of the surrounding community. In doing so, it aligns with broader objectives of balanced territorial development and rural cohesion.
