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.
The chairman of the association is Mayor Dr. Frauhammer (Gemmrigheim). His deputies are Mayor Seibold (Kirchheim am Neckar) and District Administrator Allgaier.
The association promotes investment projects for the preservation of steep vineyard sites 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.
A successful project campaign in 2021 lies behind us. Many interesting projects from a wide range of areas were supported, such as a geocaching tour, a bending and turning tool for monrack tracks, wine and plan carts, LandArt in the Lauffen steep slopes, oases of peace in the steep slopes or the renovation of an ice cellar.
