Vacancy management Weinviertel
Vacant properties are a growing challenge in the communities of the Weinviertel. With the "Full House Weinviertel" initiative, the three LEADER regions of Weinviertel Ost, Weinviertel Donauraum and Marchfeld have been actively working on solutions for two years. The aim was to collect and make accessible valuable knowledge and practical materials for effective vacancy management.
A central focus was on analyzing the current situation: from vacant buildings in town centers to fallow building plots in residential areas. These developments not only cause increased costs in communities, but also endanger the typical local architecture and village community. The initiative has shown that vacancies also offer opportunities: they have potential for future-oriented local development.
The project pursued two approaches: On a meta-level, the vacancy situation was analyzed, funding opportunities were collected and best practice examples were shared. The climax was a Weinviertel-wide vacancy conference that raised awareness among community representatives and property owners. Practical solutions were developed for regional needs, for example to revitalize an empty property.
All findings and materials are available on the LEADER Region Weinviertel Ost website - a resource that continues to support communities and stakeholders in actively shaping their town centers.
