Funding for 2026 for small projects to preserve steep-slope viticulture and the cultural landscape has been released by the state - short application can be sent to the association office by 08.01.2026

Eleven municipalities and the district of Ludwigsburg founded the "Neckarschleifen Regional Development" association in 2020 to promote small-scale projects that serve to preserve steep-slope viticulture and the wine culture landscape. This created the conditions for using the regional budget funding program. The regional budget for small projects is an additional funding pot designated at federal level to strengthen rural areas. Since 2025, funding has been provided at state level.
