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.
These projects are funded
The association supports investment projects for the preservation of steep slope vineyards in accordance with the objectives of the integrated rural development concept "ILEK Neckarschleifen" in the following areas
- Steep slope viticulture as cultural heritage and image carrier of the region: profiling steep slope wines
- Developing the Neckarschleifen wine and cultural landscape as an experience area and tourist destination
- Vineyard terraces with a new future - innovative uses and prospects for fallow steep slopes
- Cultural heritage as a community task - creating awareness and finding partners.
Legal entities under public law (municipalities, churches, companies, clubs, associations) and natural persons and partnerships (private individuals, GbR, KG, farmers) can apply for funding.
Further requirements for project submission
The investment must be implemented within the boundaries of the following member municipalities: Benningen am Neckar, Besigheim, Bönnigheim, Freiberg am Neckar, Gemmrigheim, Hessigheim, Ingersheim, Kirchheim am Neckar, Lauffen am Neckar, Mundelsheim and Walheim.
The projects with a net investment sum of between EUR 2,500 and EUR 20,000 must be fully implemented and settled in 2025. In total, funds amounting to 145,000 euros are available. This is 55,000 euros less than in previous years, as the state has decided to cut funding from 180,000 euros to 125,000 euros.
The deadline for applications is 24.02.2025. The application must include the project description, approvals from other authorities, offers and a detailed cost estimate. Due to the delayed disbursement of funding, there will be no short application as in previous years.
