in der Pfalz

Ein ausgezeichnetes Dorf on behalf of all citizens, to our lively wine Welcomeand recreation resort of Weyher in the . A truly excellent village with a well-kept historical townscape, a picturesque location amidst vineyards right on the edge of the Nature Park “Pfälzer Wald” and a breathtaking view of the Upper lowlands. Our very active village community ensures an active village life and forward-looking development approaches throughout the year. In addition, several winegrowing families produce very high-quality wines, which lead to a high degree of awareness of Weyher far beyond the region. This makes our village a popular travel destination with its good middle-class gastronomy and its family-run accommodation businesses. The award of gold in the 25th national competition „Unser Dorf hat Zukunft“ in 2016 and two special prizes in the state competition for „inner development“ and for „exemplary ecological achieve- ments“ encourage the inhabitants to continue to develop our village sustainably in the future.

and the creation of affordable living space in the village centres, especially in Urban development concept 2017 ff housing development Parking spaces at the Rietburgstraße I Hübühl entrance to the village the structurally weak rural areas“. Urban Rogerl Lewenz , minister of the interior Rhineland-Palatinate development structural concept Our long-term aim ist to create an environment conscious village in every aspact. We would like to maintain the natural eco- system, to improve quality living environments ans also to reduce the effects of climate chance and we plan our develeopmet projects ub the highest consideration of these goals.

The further development of our village is very important, which is why we have been recognised as a priority community since 2105. In 2017, the community of Weyher updated its village renewal concept from 1986. This is a prerequisite for the state of Rhine- land-Palatinate to subsidise private and public village renewal measures. On the one hand, these measures focus the renewal of older buildings with courtyards and green spaces that characterise the village and its landscape. On the other hand, structural adaptation to today‘s living and energy standards is supported as well. Focus on Village Center Surrounding

Community Centre (DGH) „Hübühl“ and „Rhodter Weg“ construction sites well received 23 building plots created in the „Rhodter Weg“ development area since 2015 Temporary parking Hardly any houses are empty in the inner village Construction of a farm building in the village centre including old building fabric (vaulted cellar) City Hall / Luisenstift Creation of new apartments in the ÅÍvillage centre local border greening

The topic of interior development has gained further importance in recent years as a result of demographic change on the one hand and the persistently high land consumption on the other. Therefore, the efforts of village renewal concentrated on the village Cemetery centres, for example on the conversion of old buildings for living, working and tourism as well as the extension of a basic infras- tructure adapted to the village.

Strengthening the village centre Our architectural heritage is characterised by local building materials. They have been used either for solid, half-timbered or mixed constructions. Renovations for the purpose of energy saving are in line with traditional construction methods and respect their legacy. Care must be taken that the old building fabric will not be damaged or disappear completely.

8 9 Built Environment

The aim is to preserve, cultivate and harmoniously develop the building heritage. To protect the characteristic townscape as a testimony of history. The successful redevelopment and maintenance of the site is characteristic.

The oldest datable finds indicating settlement in the Weyher district date from the 3rd to 4th centuries after Christ. From this time, when the area belonged to the Roman Empire, the foundations of two farms, so-called „villae rusticae“, as well as several graves were found, which suggest further settlements. This long tradition obliges the preservation and care of the cultural monuments.

Among the sights and cultural monuments in the village is home, among other things for youth work. the Old Town Hall from 1608, which was rebuilt in the 18th The monument zone in the old village centre includes a century in baroque style, with a polygonal staircase tower well-preserved development from the 16th century with and an arcade hall.

The small village of Weyher is surrounded by greenery. Vineyards and URBAN DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT meadows extend into the village. In addition, the village maintains green areas The urban development concept envisages a further expansion of green spaces in the centre of the town. For this purpose, the and creates recreational areas. areas in the community centre, the town hall, the church and the cemetery are to be further developed.

Gemeinde Weyher I Dorfentwicklungskonzept I Fortschreibung 2017 ff I Teil A CEMETERIE DE 2017 ff I SCHWERPUNKT ORTSMITTE The cemetery is centrally located in the village and is both a meeting place and a park with a beautiful view. The outside area in the southern part of the cemetery was replanted with shrubs and grasses. In the future they will enrich the diversity of species with their flowers. In winter, the aging conifers that were present there had been removed, so that the sandstone walls could once again be used to better advantage and attract reptiles. The Roman stone sarcophagus, which had previously been erected at the village community hall, was moved to the forecourt of the blessing hall and integrated into the complex there. It was found in the 1960s during the land consolidation in the nearby Blenk. In future, a notice board will indicate the suspected Villa Rustica. Two newly planted hornbeams will provide shade. From the end of May to the beginning of June, a lawn urnfield will be planted Umfeld Dorfgemeinschaftshaus DGH between the church tower and the northern enclosure wall facing Kirchgasse.

PLAYGROUND AND FOOTBALL FIELD Also in the middle of the village there is a playground with various play equipment and a football field. This is also a meeting place for all generations. Once a year there is also a boules tournament. The facility is located directly at the community centre, so that it Umfeld Rathaus / Luisenstift can always be used at parties and events.

PRIVATE GARDENS A special feature of the private gardens in Weyher is that they are not visible from the outside. Due to the traditional Palatinate house and courtyard construction method, the plots of land to the streets usually end with large representative courtyard gates. The typical, lovely maintained, farm gardens often extend behind the houses to the edge of the field or forest.

14 15 Planting

Many people dream of a holiday in nature with unique relaxation. What DRY-STONE WALLS SPECIAL FEATURE ON THE VILLAGE ROAD some people forget is that nature is right on their doorstep. We in Weyher Not only do dry-stone walls serve as hiding places and During the extension of the village road, a bulge for planting know that very well. We live between vines and forest and appreciate this. important survival areas for species that have become rare, was planned at all houses. Private individuals plant roses, such as the sand lizard. Birds can nest in gaps, wasps find vines and seasonal flowering plants in it. their home in cavities and mice appreciate the sheltered,

INNER VILLAGE TREE PLANTING dry interiors. Unfortunately, this fascinating habitat is hardly found anymore. In order to preserve the harmonious relationship between the place and its surroundings, an average of 12 native trees are planted each year. In recent years almond trees have been planted along the vineyards. Their flowering in spring is an attraction that attracts many visitors.

ROSES IN THE VINEYARDS Flowering roses in the vineyards are a feast for the eyes. The former early warning system for diseases is gaining importance again today in addition to its decorative benefits. The rose serves as an indicator for plant diseases such as mildew. In contrast to the vine, the rose is more susceptible and is attacked about one to two weeks earlier by harmful fungi.

PLANTING OF FLOWERING PLANTS IN PUBLIC PLACES Thanks to a strong volunteer commitment, spaces can be found all over the village that embellish the village image with sea- sonal plants and bring nature into the village. Highlights are the squares around the way crosses, recreation areas and planting opportunities along the streets. For all these places there are godparents who take care of the planting and keeping clean. They VINES AND VITICULTURE are happy to pass on their knowledge to younger people. In addition to the climate, the location and the winegrower‘s wealth of experience, the soil plays an important role in the winema- king process. At the same time, it is a very vulnerable and limited resource that needs to be protected. The Upper Rhine Graben was formed over 50 million years ago. In the west the Vosges and the Palatinate Forest and in the east the Black Forest and the Odenwald emerged. Sedimentation and erosion equalized the relief. In the vineyards around Weyher, the geological characteristics are more differentiated and various than anywhere else in the Palatinate. Within a radius of one kilo- meter there are several different types of rocks that were formed between 235 and 420 million years ago: Limestone marl, red sandstone, Rotliegendes, granite and slate.

16 17 Environmental education

Many people dream of a holiday in nature with unique relaxation. What KINDERGARTEN (CHILDREN GARDENING) some people forget is that nature is right on their doorstep. We in Weyher The newest project of our community is the „Kindergarten“. In our small village we do not have know that very well. We live between vines and forest and appreciate this. an educational institution like kindergarten or primary school, but we have a large garden project where mainly children, but also adults meet for gardening. The aim of the project is to introduce children to nature, to impart knowledge and to pass on and preserve the knowledge of the elderly. The plan is to plant useful plants such as tomatoes, cucumbers and courgettes in the garden of the Luisenstift. Later, the children are to process the grown vegetables and, of course, eat them. PLAYFUL ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION A beekeeper was also invited to report on bee-friendly gardening. Also already 3 trees were For the children in our village we offer a varied program. Through joint activities, the children not only get to know the village and planted with the help of the children and sponsorships for beds were given. its inhabitants, but also learn how to deal with nature and the landscape in which they live. The „Clean Landscape Campaign“ shows the children how important it is to clear the landscape of rubbish so that the local The idea behind it is to introduce the children to the topic in a playful way and to teach them animals in our region also have a natural habitat. Young and old work together to make the landscape more beautiful again. the responsibility in dealing with our environment. All generations can learn from each other and support each other. During the forest week our forester shows the children the forest which is responsible for the clean air of our region. Volunteers from the age of 20 enable the children from 4 to 10 years to get together once a week. In the group lesson they introduce the children to social values and environmental awareness in Our children go to primary school and kindergarten in the neighbouring villages, where they a fun and playful way. regularly visit farmers, winegrowers and craftsmen as part of their lessons. Twice a year our kindergarten children spend a week in the forest accompanied by a forester.

LEISURE ACTIVITYS Home and environmental solidarity are also reflected in offers such as • birdcall hikes • donkey walks • Yoga group in the garden

18 19 Tourism and Leisure

For our vacationers 137 guest beds are available in private pensions, in a hotel as well as in vacation homes. Four restaurants and a café offer both hearty cuisine and culinary delights. In the high season in autumn many winegrowers open their farms and offer small Palatinate specialities and new wine. Weyher is known for its tourism and is considered by many regular visitors to be one of the most beautiful villages in the Edenkoben holiday region. The nearby forest offers many well-marked hiking trails and huts for hikers. For example, the „Pfälzer Weinsteig“ (Palatinate Wine Trail) hiking trail passes directly on the outskirts of the village. The landscape around Weyher is also perfect for a bicycle tour through the vineyards. May At our festivals such as the wine panorama in May, the Kerwe in June or the wine wine festival in vineyards festival in September, guests can experience our warm hospitality.
