Kitzingen wants world heritage agricultural culture: invitation to international guests!

Something is happening in the Nuremberg metropolitan region! The region is applying for the prestigious title of “World Heritage Agricultural Culture”. This could not only be a big step for the region, but also for the Kitzingen district, which could become part of this honor. Loud mainpost.de The Kitzingen district has a wealth of traditional growing areas and cultural landscapes to offer that are worth recognizing.

District Administrator Tamara Bischof heads the advisory board, which has already met three times in Kitzingen to work out the details of the application. The first documents will soon be submitted to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) in Rome. This shows that the region has a clear vision of how it can make its diverse agricultural traditions visible.

Invitation to discover the region

Kitzingen plays an important role in viticulture, while asparagus and vegetable cultivation also characterize agriculture. “With this award we not only want to preserve agricultural diversity, but also become more internationally visible and open up new markets,” emphasized Bischof. The title could be a real signal for the preservation of the cultural landscape and an invitation to discover the region.

Experiences from other countries show how valuable this title can be: in Peru it has led to the revival of traditional farming methods, in Austria it protects the carp pond industry and in Spain it strengthens sustainable salt production. Such examples illustrate that the title can have a real impact on local agricultural economies and associated cultures.

A look into the future

Applying for the title of World Heritage Agricultural Culture could help attract international guests interested in agricultural landscapes and traditional forms of farming. Kitzingen can therefore justifiably hope for more visitors who want to find out more about the unique agriculture and the rich culture that has been cultivated here for generations.

Overall, the initiative of the Nuremberg metropolitan region shows that the region's agriculture builds a bridge between history and the future. A title like “World Heritage Agricultural Culture” could give this development an additional dimension and bring the region’s advantages even more into focus.

The next steps in the application phase are eagerly awaited. The far-reaching effects of this application could extend far beyond the Kitzingen district.
