Protection of historical cultural landscapes to strengthen regional identity and local economy (until 2008)

The objectives of the INTERREG IIIB project focuses on the protection and sustainable development of selected historical cultural landscapes, which constitute a particular home and regional identity in Europe. The CULTURAL LANDSCAPE project brought together 11 partners from central and eastern European countries like Germany, Poland, Austria, Romania, Ukraine.

The Agricultural University of Krakow, as lead partner of the project, coordinated the actions between the project partners and the European Union. The FH Erfurt took the lead in creating an international list and glossary for endangered cultural landscape elements with the participation of the member countries. Furthermore, in collaboration with the University of Cluj, Romania (as a part of a student internship) the mapping of endangered cultural landscape elements of the Transylvania region was recorded and documented.
