»2025 future index of homeland and building culture« research project launched

What identity-forming potential lies in Vogtland’s cultural heritage? What patterns of perception can be observed? Since February 2020, the »Vogtlandpioniere: Zukunftsindex Heimat und Baukultur 2025« project has seen researchers from the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s Institute for European Urban Studies examine what people living in the border regions of Bavaria, Saxony, Thuringia and Bohemia consider valuable, what defines quality of life for them, and how they identify the region and understand its future development.

The project examines the importance of heritage in the processes of identity construction and self-image within a cultural space. It aims to provide important information about which pieces of architectural heritage, through their preservation and continued or adapted use, have had the greatest effect on identifying with the region. 

»The project studies city and state relationships, the role of returning migrants and the development of new value chains in transition regions in light of the current renaissance of rural areas. We want to compile the traditions, transformations and goals of various different stakeholders into a ›future index‹«, explains Prof. Hans-Rudolf Meier, Professor of Conservation and History of Architecture at the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism and the project’s spokesperson.

This transdisciplinary research project is supported by the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar’s professorships of Conservation and History of Architecture, Landscape Architecture and Planning, and Urban Studies and Social Research. It will receive around 235,000 euros of funding by 2022 as part of the »Vogtlandpioniere« project consortium under the »WIR! –Wandel durch Innovation in der Region« programme from the Federal Ministry of Education and Research. The programme is designed to aid the development and implementation of innovative concepts in fields such as mobility, sustainability, climate protection and economy in regions that are facing particular structural challenges.

Vogtlandpionieres: Zukunftsindex Heimat und Baukultur 2025
