Description
| The main objective of the initiative for cultural landscape is to preserve and further develop the cultural landscape ‘St. Wendeler Land‘. This is to be achieved through conservation and use of the existent resources and the cultural heritage. Of great importance is the implementation of the regional development concept “Lokalwarenmarkt St. Wendeler Land 2015+” (local produce store) that is to support the rural development of the St. Wendel region. In particular, the use of the inherent potentials of “natural resources”, “cultural heritage” and “local population” is to be a focal point. In the future, within the frame of the development concept “Lokalwarenmarkt 2015”, the construction and establishment of a self-supporting market of local products and service is to apply a s a guiding principle. The following approaches characterize the future guiding principle: expansion of the “Lokalwarenmarktes 2015+” into a system approach, which connects value chains to a mostly independent, local commodity market, development of a brand relative to added value for every basic resource, extension of the fields of action local commodity market, tourism and qualification. |
