Typical regional building and tourism in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Schorfheide-Chorin

As part of a Germany-wide call for tenders by the Federal Office for Building and Regional Planning (BBR), a total of eight model regions were selected as model regional planning projects (MORO). In these regions, suitable region-specific building culture and tourism strategies are being developed. These form the basis for lasting cooperation and networks as well as for the development of historical and modern architecture into tourist attractions.

Architecture, townscapes and landscapes are becoming increasingly important for tourism. Today's guests are looking for authentic, unmistakable experiences in an intact, regionally typical environment. In this respect, building culture is of essential importance for sustainable, nature and cultural experience-oriented tourism. The topic of building culture is an important element for the preservation of the cultural landscape, especially in the biosphere reserve.

The aim of the project 'Regional typical building and tourism in the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve Schorfheide-Chorin' is the valorization of regional building culture and the increased inclusion in tourism marketing activities. The result is a guideline for building owners and municipalities.
