Landscapes! - German Foundation for Cultural Landscape is a primarily operational private foundation under civil law based in Berlin. It was launched in November 2006 by the German Farmers' Association . The first chairwoman of the board was Angelika Westerwelle. Stephanie Egerland-Rau, Chancellor of the Hafencity University Hamburg (HCU), has held the chair since December 2009. On June 13, 2014 Helmut Born, former Secretary General of the German Farmers' Association, took over the office. Since July 1, 2014, the foundation no longer has a full-time office.
aims
The German Foundation for Cultural Landscape is committed to the preservation and development of the rural cultural landscape, which has grown over centuries, in its typical regional manifestations and with its diverse economic, ecological, social and cultural functions.
The foundation's work is largely guided by the objective of ensuring an economically viable, sustainable use and development of the cultural landscape as the livelihood of its residents in the future. The constitutional principle of equivalency of living conditions is an essential guiding principle. This is based on the conviction that rural areas as living and economic areas should not be neglected or given up in favor of urban growth centers and agglomeration areas.
The name land creation! programmatically stands for the strategic approach “protection through use” and clearly illustrates the socio-economic performance and civic potential of rural regions.
Through its project work as well as its information and communication activities, the foundation would like to actively contribute to a better understanding of cultural landscape requirements, processes and relationships in the public and thus to an objectively well-founded discourse on values and goals.
activities
The German Foundation for Cultural Landscape would like to set specific impulses for more civic coexistence in regions affected by rural structural change with its 2009 Art for the Village - Villages for Art competition held for the first time in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania . The pilot project was carried out in cooperation with the state of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania and accompanied by the Berlin curator Simone Tippach-Schneider . In 2011, five villages in Lower Saxony were the scenes of the event. Three villages in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, Hesse and Saxony took part in the third round in summer 2013. The entire course of the project was documented by ZDF / ARTE in a six-part television series. On July 1, 2014, it was announced that the foundation's initiative would be recognized as an “Excellent Place in the Land of Ideas”. The project, which is based on participation and interaction, is based on the idea that artistic interventions are particularly suitable for stimulating public opinion-forming and co-shaping processes and uncovering local social and creative potential. At the same time, this is linked to the desire to build cultural bridges between the established centers of contemporary art and the rural area, which is still largely open to current artistic positions.
With the Landscape Award, first awarded in 2008 ! honors the foundation for districts and rural regions that have distinguished themselves through innovative structural policies or exemplary initiatives to upgrade rural areas.
In December 2010, the foundation together with the aid infodienst Nutrition, Agriculture, Consumer Protection, funded by the Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection. V. published a comprehensive, practice-oriented guide to landscape-friendly construction for agriculture. Since then, rural building culture has been a thematic focus of the foundation's work.
In addition, the foundation is also concerned with the topic of “New Energy Landscapes” and in this context calls for greater consideration of design and regional economic issues in the further expansion of renewable energies.
Cooperations
