Saving a steep slope relict vineyard landscape through an integrated model project of land consolidation in the Lower Lahn Valley

With the model project of land consolidation in Rhineland-Palatinate, which was launched in 2012, an integrated planning approach made a significant contribution to the preservation and design of a steep-slope relict growing area in the last two steep slope municipalities of Obernhof and Weinähr an der Lahn in the Middle Rhine wine-growing region. The interests of viticulture, nature conservation and tourism were brought together in an exemplary manner. The bottom-up approach is pursued, in which various project and financing partners work together across municipal boundaries and use various rural funding instruments.
