Competence Center Cultural Landscape (CULT)

Today's modern age is causing great changes in cultural landscapes. The use of landscapes through intensification of land use (agriculture, forestry, settlements, energy generation etc.) leads to ever more profound changes in these high-quality cultural landscapes. Characteristics such as historical elements and diversity, which determine value are irretrievably lost.

The Competence Centre Cultural Landscape works on these current social challenges of sustainable development of the cultural landscape in a cooperative network. To this end, we organise specialist events and further training and thus promote the development of professional standards.

Organizing Help for Flood Vicitims

Hochschule Geisenheim University is coordinating professional support for the "green sector" in cooperation with partners and sponsors and the Geisenheim Alumni Association (VEG)

In order to support businesses in the wine, horticulture and landscaping sectors in restoring their livelihoods, many helping hands are needed, also beyond the next weeks. With the campaign "Geisenheim hilft", Geisenheim students, alumni and university members would like to provide practical help in coping with the flood disaster, with the focus on the Ahr Valley.

To ensure uncomplicated and efficient support, a pool of volunteers from Geisenheim will be organized to help out in the vineyards, gardens, basements and businesses. Volunteers will receive 10 euros per hour and have insurance coverage. Transport and accomodation will also be organized. The initiative was kicked off by a joint donation of Sibylle Fraund and a foundation at Hochschule Geisenheim University totalling 60,000 euros.

Please make a donation to help increase the pool of volunteers:
