9 Management Plan Zscheiplitz, abbey church,epitaph(photo: GuidoSiebert) 10 The World Heritage Management Plan is the concomitant documentation and planning instrument for the application for the acceptance of the cultural landscape of “Naumburg Cathedral and the landscape of the rivers Saale and Un- strut – territories of power in the High Middle Ages” onto the UNESCO World Heritage list. This cultural landscape with Naumburg’s Cathedral of St. Peter and Paul, Schloss Neuenburg with the Romanesque double chapel, and the picturesque castles above the Saale Valley and historic wine-growing areas around them, have been attracting growing numbers of tourists for decades, from both within the country and from abroad, as well as specialists in a variety of disciplines. At the same time, ever since the Middle Ages they have been objects of appreciation in art and culture, and, since the advent of the State-inspired protection of th monuments and the modern concept of the Cultural Landscape in the 19 century, they have also been the object of intensive efforts for their upkeep and preservation. The aim of the Management Plan is therefore to bring into combination the existing initiatives and the instruments of protection provided by law, and the- reby to attain positive and sustainable reciprocal effects between the individual topic areas and the persons responsible for them in each case. The object of this World Heritage Management Plan is the nominated property of the “High Middle Ages Territory of Power on the Saale and Unstrut”, 1. Content and setting the aims and the surrounding buffer zone. It is intended in the first instance for the party submitting the application, the Förderverein Welterbe an Saale und Unstrut e.V., in which are represented the administrative bodies concerned of the State of Saxony-Anhalt, the Burgen- land region, and the towns and municipalities concerned, as well as the resi- dents and institutions who are committed to their cultural heritage in the cultural landscape on the Saale and Unstrut, but it is also intended for the more generally interested public at large. One key aim is that it should describe the examples for the future development of the items to be protected, present the basic principles in international, national, and regional law, the planning for bringing this about, and the procedures and methods for co-ordinated action between the parties who are actively involved. Specifically because it is intended for a middle-term time period of about ten years, the Management Plan is not regarded as a rigid programme of action, and accordingly the methods of ongoing monitoring of the items for protection on the basis of predetermined criteria will acquire particular significance. Only in this way will it be possible to react in a flexible manner with the instruments of protection to meet the challenges which the future will pose.

Saale 2.1. Significance of the site

In the area where the River Unstrut flows into the River Saale in the centre of Germany and the south of the State of Saxony-Anhalt lies a cultural landscape whose outstanding distinction – still present to this day – is an unusually high density of high-quality monuments and authentic cultural landscape elements from the High Middle Ages era. The area extends to include the towns of Naumburg/Saale and Freyburg/Un- strut with their environs and is also defined by the sites of the castles at Goseck and Saaleck across the Saale valley. With their characteristic steep slopes, the river valleys of the Saale and Un- strut are per-meated by a flat landscape of limestone and mottled sandstone, the favourable climate of which, combined with fertile soil and rich biodiversity, formed the natural prerequisites for the emergence of a significant cultural and economic area during the interglacial period from the 11th to the 13th century. As a millennia-old transit landscape between the Thuringian Basin to the west and the Leipzig Bay it was both a contact zone between the Holy Roman Empire and non-Christian Slavic settlement areas in the east and the expression of a pan-European transformation process in this era. This was associa- 2. World Heritage characteristics ted with a unique transformation of settlement and ruling structures, with the founding of new towns and villages, castles and churches and the establishment of monasteries and convents. Mixed deciduous woodlands with historic timber lines, cultivated terraces and orchards still bear witness to the High Middle Ages landscape structure 800 years on, whilst the characteristic vineyards on the steep slopes of the river valleys are amongst the oldest wine-growing sites in Germany. Still evident to this day, the trans-European east-west route of the Medieval Via regia passed along the Saale, joining with other historic roads – apparent from the presence of sunken roads and fords – to form an extraordinary body of High Middle Ages transport infrastructure. As an artistic feat of hydraulic engineering created by Cistercian monks, the Kleine Saale supplied the monastery at Pforte and a series of mills in the Saale valley. Quarries for the extraction of limestone and mottled sandstone still indicate the origin of the construction material for the extensive building work required in the erection of castles, sacred buildings, town houses, fortifications and vineyard terraces.

2.2.1 Description

Located in the centre of Germany, in the south of the State of Saxony-Anhalt, in the area where the river Unstrut flows into the river Saale, is a cultural landscape developed from the structures of the High Middle Ages with an extraordinary density and quality of monuments and elements of a cultural landscape. The geomorphologically interesting plate landscape of shell limestone and mottled sandstone with river valleys, steep slopes, favourable climate, fertile soil and high biodiversity has been a settlement and transitory area for many cen- 2. World Heritage characteristics turies. The area encompassing Goseck, Naumburg, Saaleck, and Freyburg was developed intensively as border and contact zone between West Slav territories and the German settlement areas during the interglacial period of the 11th to 13th centuries. The most important west-east road during the Middle Ages, the trans-Euro- pean Via regia, and other historic roads, as exemplified by ravines, are outstanding monuments of high medieval infrastructures. The Kleine Saale river as a hydraulic engineering masterpiece of the Middle Ages demonstrates vividly the methods applied in the generation of energy at that time. Broad-leaved mixed forests with historic forest boundaries, cultivated field terraces and mixed orchards testify to that landscape structure of the high medieval period even 800 years later. The historic vineyards belong to the most important examples of this type in the cultural history of Germany. In an extraordinarily good state of preservation, the basic pattern of town and country planning in a cultural landscape has survived since the High Middle Ages. Another widely preserved feature is the fundamental layout of the settlements from the High Middle Ages: the 27 villages are of regular layout, particularly the round villages.

------2.2.3 Justification of the criteria

2.2.3.1 Criterion IV

The territories of power on the Saale and Unstrut rivers is an outstanding example of a cultural landscape of the High Middle Ages actively shaped by the in- teraction of man and nature. It is extraordinary evidence of the settlement and development in what then was the border area between the Holy Roman Em- pire and the non-Christian Slavonic territories. The competing interests of the landgraves of Thuringia, the margraves of Meissen, the bishops of Naumburg and numerous other rulers resulted in the emergence of representative and in- terreferential castles and sacred buildings within a small area. The castles rising high above the slopes of the river valleys are real as well as symbolic representatives of the worldly power of the noble territorial rulers in the intensively developed cultural landscape. The sacred buildings in the cities and in all villages demonstrate the final establishment of Christianity in the area. Besides that, Neuenburg castle with its three keeps and the double chapel is of outstanding spiritual importance as the temporary abode of Saint Elisabeth of Thuringia. The two-choir, four-tower Naumburg Cathedral with two rood screens outdoes the size and splendour of all other churches in the region. It is a striking symbol of the spiritual power of 2. World Heritage characteristics

the Episcopal see and – by the founder figures in the west screen – of the local worldly rulers. Besides, it is a typical and ideal example of the spread of the cathedral plans from the West to the East of Europe. The medieval remains of landscape, plans of settlements and towns buildings as well as Slavic, German and mixed names and forms of places ideally testify to the population growth and the processes of inculturation between local and im- migrated ethnical groups. Emphasis should also be placed on the outstanding examples of the dynamic developments in farming and forestry, viticulture, different technologies of building, particularly water engineering, and art in the 11th to 13th centuries.

2.2.3.2 Criterion V

The site is an extraordinarily meaningful example of settlement and land use in Central Europe during the High Middle Ages in the interglacial period from the 11th to the 13th century. Conserved to a large extent, this basic pattern of a cultural landscape in the High Middle Ages has survived. The trans-European Via

Since the beginning of the 19t century and continuing to date, the preservation of the substance and the appearance of the Middle Ages were the guiding principles of all repair and restoration work at the Naumburg Cathedral and the other churches and monasteries.

2.2.5 Statement of authenticity

2.2.5.1 Form and design

With regard to the geomorphology, the most important elements such as vineyards, forests and rivers, quarries and old roads, the appearance of the cultural landscape of the High Middle Ages is authentic to an extraordinary degree. This also applies to the dominating buildings: castles, churches and monasteries as well as the urban skylines. Because the quality of this landscape was realised early and with this in mind strong economic and cultural developments with negative effects and conse- 2. World Heritage characteristics

quences did not take place, the results of the dynamic development of the High Middle Ages have been preserved.

2.2.5.2 Materials and substance

Most of the materials and substances of the castles and sacred buildings, most of all the Naumburg Cathedral Dom, date from the High Middle Ages. Protec- tive dealing with them, based on the high regard for the medieval monuments, started very early. Supposedly “improving” restorations in the age of historicism were not made.

The protection and maintaining of World Heritage is assured by a large number of laws, directives, guidelines, and agreements on the international, national, regional, and community level. Reference is made hereinafter to the appropriate agreements and laws which are well-suited to serve as instruments of protection in respect of the World He- ritage region on the Saale and Unstrut (see Annex 1 to the Management Plan, Laws (overview)). As well as this, existing plans and regulations are examined in detail to determine whether they support the purpose of protection or, under certain circumstances, could lead to conflicts.

3.3.1 International agreements

The foundation for the maintaining of World Heritage is provided by internati- 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

onal agreements (conventions) and charters. In these agreements, enshrined in national law, and directives and guidelines under which voluntary obligations are entered into, differentiated directions aimed at achieving the aims of protecting cultural and natural World Heritage are pursued.

The Convention concerning the Protection of the World Cultural and Na- tural Heritage (World Heritage Convention), concluded in Paris in 1972 and given force of law in 1975, is the central instrument for the protection of World Heritage. The Federal Republic of Germany has been a contracting state since 1976. Fol- lowing ratification in 1977, the World Convention has been implemented in Ger- many as an administrative agreement within the framework of the existing laws and ordinances. With the Reunification Treaty, the binding effect has been extended to the territory of the former German Democratic Republic (which had become a party to the World Convention since 1988). This meant that the country committed itself to assess, protect, and maintain, independently, the

The Nara Document on Authenticity was adopted in 1994 as the result of an expert conference, and is concerned with the concept of “authenticity” in connection with the protection of cultural heritage.

In addition to these, on the European level the efforts to achieve a common policy for the protection of cultural and natural heritage has found expression in the following conventions: In the European Convention on the protection of the archaeological heritage (Council of Europe, Strasbourg, 1969), in the Con- vention on the protection of the architectural heritage (Granada Convention, 1985) and in the European Convention on the protection of the archaeological heritage (revised) (Council of Europe, Malta, 1992).

The special features of a cultural landscape which is to be protected, such as stands as the focus of the concept of the protection of the cultural landscape of the High Middle Ages on the Saale and Unstrut, involve not only the instruments of protection for the safeguarding of monuments in the narrower sense, 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

but also the relevance of laws and regulations for regional planning, in which pertinent rulings are formulated and enshrined..

The Regional Planning Law (ROG) sets forth the provisions relating to the conditions, tasks, and guiding concepts for regional planning. The entire region of the Federal Republic of Germany and its part areas should be developed, arranged, and safeguarded “by comprehensive, cross-regional, and inter-disciplinary concordance of planning and other measures which are of significance for the area concerned”. (Art. 1(1)). The guiding concept is a sustained regional development policy which, in the balance between aspirations and functions, “leads to equitable living conditions in the part areas” (Art. 1(2)). Under Point 5 of Article 2, Basic Principles of Regional Planning, it is stated that: “Historically shaped and organically developed cultural landscapes are to be preserved in their striking and characterizing features and with their cultural and natural monuments.” When preparing regional development plans, an environmental survey is to be conducted, in order to detect any significant effects to be anticipated as a

A distinction is made between privileged projects (such as construction involving agriculture and forestry) and those which are not privileged (such as catering facilities for excursions).

The second section deals with special urban planning law. The municipalities are able to prepare and implement town planning renovation and refurbishment measures in order to alleviate town planning shortcomings. In the context of urban renovation, specified parts of a town (renovation areas) are substantially improved and redesigned. The renovation measures are intended, inter alia, to contribute to “the existing parts of the locality being retained, re- newed, and further developed, the overall impression of the image of the locality and landscape being improved, and the requirements of the protection of monuments being duly taken into account”. (Art. 136 (4)). The municipalities are empowered, by way of a preservation mandate, to de- signate areas in which, inter alia, “in order to retain the unique nature of the urban development of the area, based on its overall development concept (…) to request approval for the restoration, modification, or change of use of structural elements” (Article 172 (1)). In these areas, the erection of structural elements is also subject to approval by the municipalities themselves, in order to preserve the structure and unique nature of the area.

The towns of Naumburg, Freyburg, and Bad Kösen have decided on the terms and conditions for the renovation of their “Old Town” districts. Naumburg and Freyburg have opted for preservation conditions for areas of historical value.

The courses of the Saale and Unstrut and the natural elements of the cultural landscape lead to a connection between the setting of the aims for the natural environment and the environment created by man. It is against this back- ground that the rulings are formulated with regard to environmental compati- 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

bility and important instruments for the protection of nature and the landscape.

By way of the Law relating to the Investigation of Environmental Compati- bility (UVPG) it is intended that, in order to achieve effective care of the environment, it should be ensured, with regard to certain projects, plans, and programmes, that the effects on the environment can be determined, described, and assessed at an early stage. The results of the environmental investigation are then taken into account in the approval of projects and in the preparation or amendment of plans and programmes. In the environmental compatibility programmes an investigation is to be made, among other things, of the effects on humans, flora and fauna, the biological diversity, the landscape, the cultural heritage, and the reciprocal effects between the individual items to be protected. The law defines those projects for which an obligation pertains for the investigation into environmental compatibility in general or for an investigation in an individual case. The law also applies to specific plans and programmes from different sectors of the economy and planning (relating, for example, to agriculture

Section 3 is dedicated to the definition of “intervention into nature and landscape” and the rulings relating to such intervention. The concept of intervention includes, inter alia, changing the overall status or usage of green areas, which substantially impair the mage of the landscape. There is a stipulation for avoi- dance, according to which the party who causes an intervention is obliged “(…) to refrain from avoidable impairments to nature and landscape” (Art. 15 (1)). With regard to unavoidable impairments, the causer “(…) is to compensate for these by measures of protection of nature and the care of the landscape (compensatory measures) or to replace losses (replacement measures)” (Art. 15 (2)). An intervention must not be permitted if it cannot be compensated for, or replacement made, within a reasonable period of time, and the requirements of the protection of nature and care of the landscape take precedence over other requirements.

Section 4 forms the basis in law for the protection of parts of nature and landscape. The declaration of protection is to present the purpose of the protection, the requirements and prohibitions, and the measures adopted for care, development, and restoration. In “nature protection areas”, some regions receive special protection, such as for the preservation of biotopes of wild flora and fauna “(…) due to their rarity, particularly unique nature, or outstanding beauty (…)” (Art. 23 (1)) In “landscape protection areas”, a particular degree of protection of the region is required “(…) due to the abundance, unique nature, and beauty, or due to the special cultural historical significance of the landscape, or due to its particular importance with regard to recreation (…)” (Art. 26 (1)). Nature parks, such as the broad area defined as the “Saale-Unstrut-Triasland” Nature Park, in which the protected region is located, are spacious areas of land which predominantly consist of landscape protection and nature protection 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

areas, and “(…) due to their circumstances in respect of the landscape are particularly well- suited for recreation, and in which the effort should be made to establish sustained tourism (…).” (Art. 27 (1)) “Natural monuments” are unique natural creations (surface areas of up to 50,000 m²), which “(…) for scientific, natural history, or other local artistic or historic reasons, or due to their rarity, unique nature, or beauty (…)” are placed under protection (Art. 28 (1)). According to Art. 30 (1) BNatSchG, “certain parts of nature and landscape, which have a particular significance as biotopes (…)” are protected by law. The biotopes which are placed under protection are precisely designated. In order to build up and protect the interlinked European ecological network, “Natura 2000”, the areas selected in accordance with EU Directives and guidelines as protected parts of nature and landscape in the meaning of this Law are to be declared (Art. 32 (2)).

3.3.3 State Constitution and State Laws

The Landtag, the “Provincial” Government, of Saxony-Anhalt adopted the State Constitution in 1992. In the Preamble it is stated that the people of Saxony-An- halt, in the awareness of their responsibility, have the will, among other considerations, “ (…) to preserve the natural foundations of life, and to care for the cultural and historical tradition in all parts of the Land.” The Land should be formed “(…) into a living element of the Federal Republic of Germany, and of the community of all peoples ….” Article 2 makes it clear that: ”The State of Saxony- Anhalt is a democratic social state governed by the rule of law. (…) Self-administration as a community is guaranteed.” In Article 36 (1), the State and the communities are entrusted with the task ”of protecting and promoting art, culture, and sport (…) “. The cultural activity of all the citizens is to be supported, and pu- blicly accessible facilities, such as museums, libraries, and memorials, are to be preserved. It is further stated that: ”The State, with the support of the communities, cares for the protection and care of the monuments of culture and nature.” (Article 36 (4))

The right to protect monuments is a sovereign task of the Länder. In the Monu- ment Protection Law of the State of Saxony-Anhalt (DenkmSchG LSA) provisions are set forth on how to act in respect of cultural monuments. Art. 1 (1) 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

explains the basic principles: “It is the task of the protection and care of monuments and cultural memorials to protect, maintain, care for, and research them in a scientific manner, as sources and testimonials to human history and as elements which have helped shape and form the cultural landscape, in accordance with the provisions of the law. This protection extends to the entire substance of a cultural monument, including its surroundings,(…) inasmuch as these are of significance “. The State and the community regional bodies, and the proprietors and owners of cultural monuments, are to work together towards the fulfilment of their obligation to maintain these monuments. “In matters of public planning and construction undertakings, the requirements of the protection and care of monuments are to be taken into account (…).” (Art. 1 (3)) “Cultural monuments should be made accessible to the public as far as is possible and reasonable.” (Art. 1 (4)) The definition of “cultural monuments” is “(…) material testimonials to human life from the past (…)”, which “(…) are of particular historical, cultural, artistic, scientific, religious, technical or urban development significance” (Art. 2 (1)) and the preserva-

The State Office for Monument Care and Archaeology, as the specialist authority concerned with monuments, maintains the schedule of monuments, with se- parate lists for structural monuments, movable cultural monuments, archaeological cultural monuments, and protected excavation areas. In the World Heritage property on the Saale and Unstrut there are already a large number of cultural monuments and archaeological surface monuments registered in the information monument schedule of the State of Saxony-An- halt. The monuments which come under the care of structures and works of art are published in the Saxony-Anhalt Monument Schedule, Volume 9.1 (Halle 2001). As well as details of the cultural monuments, the protection of the surrounding areas associated with them is also seen as an important tool for the protection of the cultural landscape (Art.1 (1)). The aim of protection, as well as the conservation of the substance, is also the town planning and landscape connection; in other words, the interest in protection extends to the surroundings both close at hand as well as further away (the buffer zone). The property for which registration is being applied (compare map on p. ) will be identified in its entirety as a monument region.

In the Land Planning Law of the State of Saxony-Anhalt (LPlG LSA) the object of planning for the State is described in this way: “The area of the State as a whole, and its part regions, are to be developed, brought into good order, and secured by way of comprehensive superordinated regional planning arrangements and by the concordance of planning undertakings and measures which are of significance to the entire area.” (Art. 1 (1)). The development of the part areas is intended to be integrated into the requirements of the area as a whole, and the development of the whole area “(…) should take account of the circumstances and requirements of its part areas …” (Art.1 (2)). The guide concept here is the sustained development of the area, which will “(…) lead to a large-scale sustained and balanced arrangement.” (Art. 2) In Art. 2a, the basic principles are specified relating to the regional planning 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

for the development of the State. The settlement and open-space structure is “to be developed in such a way that the unique nature of the State, its part areas, towns, and villages will be retained.” (Art. 2a Point 1a) “Tourism is to be encouraged and expanded on a sustained basis, as a branch of the economy.” (Art. 2a ,Point 7a) “As a heartland of German history, with structural monuments of outstanding importance, cultural tourism is to be encouraged and secured in Saxony-Anhalt.” (Art. 2a, Point 7b) Agriculture and forestry are to be maintained for the fulfilment of their main objectives and “(…) as important elements in the forming of the cultural landscape, across the whole of the State” (Art. 2a, Point 8a). And further: “The cultural landscape of Saxony-Anhalt is to be preserved, in all its diversity and with the features which distinguish it, as well as its cultural and natural monuments, and developed still further. Historical landscapes, which also include urban and industrial and commercial regions, are to be safeguarded.” (Art. 2a, Point 11a) The aims and principle of regional planning are to be set forth for the region of the State as a whole in the Land Development Plan, and for the planning regions in the Regional Development Plans. During the preparation of regional development plans in general, an environmental survey is to be conducted, the

The Law relating to Environmental Compatibility Investigation in the State of Saxony-Anhalt (UVPG LSA) supplements the Federal Law relating to Envi- ronmental Compatibility. The Annexe makes reference to further projects which, in the State of Saxony-Anhalt, are in principle or in individual cases, mandato- rily subject to an environmental compatibility investigation.

The Nature Protection Law of the State of Saxony-Anhalt (NatSchG LSA) im- plements the provisions of the Federal Nature Protection Law on the level of the State. In the State Law, the powers relating to the declarations of protection areas (protected parts of nature and landscape) are defined. The ordinances and regulations then allow for certain undertakings or types of use to be made conditio- nal on an approval. In the event of planning requirements being stipulated, the scope of application or the aims of protection of a protection area can be changed. The Law governs the obligation or, respectively, the option for the preparation of care concepts for the individual protection area categories. Areas which it is intended should be declared as protected parts of nature and landscape may be temporarily secured for the purpose of their protection. In Art. 22 (1), the catalogue of biotopes protected by statute under the Federal Nature Protection Law is supplemented, for example by the elements of semi-dry grassland, meadow orchards, and certain specific shrubs and thickets. In Art. 23 (1), the Law regulates the procedure for the selection and determination of the areas which are suitable for the development and protection of the cohesive European ecological network “Natura 2000”. With regard to protection status, Art. 23 (4) states: “By way of ordinances issued by the nature protection authorities concerned, the aims of protection, the measures required to conserve and restore nature, and the management stipulations required, are determined for the individual Natura 2000 areas, inasmuch as there is no other intention specified for placing under protection part areas of nature and landscape which are to be protected.” 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

In the nominated property, parts of nature and landscape are under protection as nature protection areas, landscape protection areas, as a nature park, and as natural monuments. The placing under protection of the “Natura 2000” areas will take place within the next few years. As well as this, the property also contains a large number of legally-protected biotopes (in accordance with Art. 30 of the Federal Nature Protection Law).

The Woodland Law for the State of Saxony-Anhalt (WaldG LSA) was adopted on the basis of the Federal Woodland Law. This Law defines which areas of land fall under the Law as being “woodland”. The intention is that the management of woodlands is carried out in a sustained, caring, and expert manner in accordance with the recognized principles of forestry management. The variety and natural uniqueness of the landscape are to be safeguarded. “Care is to be taken with regard to the arrangement and care of the peripheral areas of woodlands.” (Art. 4 (1)) The law specifies that, in the management of woodlands, the

- - - - 3.3.4 Land planning procedures

On the basis of the State Planning Law, the State Government adopted the Land Development Plan 2010 for the State of Saxony-Anhalt. This contains the aims and principles, as well as the spatial concept, for the future development of the State. The relationships between the Land Development Plan 2010 and the nominated property on the Saale and Unstrut are explained as follows. Section 1 of the Land Development Plan 2010 is concerned with the aims and principles of the spatial structure. Under Principle 2 it states: “The cultural landscape in Saxony-Anhalt is to be maintained in its diversity, and further developed in order to strengthen the regional identity and economic strength. In this context, its historic elements are also to be safeguarded and developed.” On the regional level, the cultural landscapes are to be identified, and, with the involvement and commitment of the citizens, strategies and concepts worked out for their further development. “A specific requirement for action pertains in particular in historically significant cultural landscapes, (…)” (Principal 3). For the five planning regions which have been specified, among them “Halle” with the Burgenland district, Regional Development Plans are to be drawn up (Aim 3). Tourism and recreation are to be encouraged as a supplementary basis for the application. Section 2 goes into details with regard to the aims and principles for the development of the settlement structure. In Saxony-Anhalt, the network is being further developed from central locations of different categories in order to gu- arantee support for the public presence. In the central locations, the intention is to place the focus on public means and resources for the sustained strengthening of the inner towns and cities, while taking account of the protection of monuments as part of town planning. Centres which are in the middle of the region, such as Naumburg (Saale), are “to be secured and developed as locations for high-level facilities in the economic, social, cultural, and political spheres and for further pri- 3.

vate services” (Aim 34). For the strengthening of the regional identity, access to art and culture should be facilitated in the part areas of the State (Principle 24). Section 3 is dedicated to the aims and principles for the development of the potentials of the locations and the technical infrastructure. The central locations are to be connected to one another in terms of transport. The middle-located centres should be able to offer good transition capacities between individual motorised transport, public long-distance transport, and public local passenger transport facilities. As well as important workplace locations, the intention is that links are established between training resources, cultural and leisure facilities, and tourist destinations, by way of a highly efficient public local passenger transport system. Continuous bicycle and pedestrian path networks are to be created for comprehensive access to the part regions and as leisure-oriented and tourist route connections. With regard to the supply of electrical energy, the possibilities for the use of renewable sources of energy are to be exploited, and energy efficiency improved.

development of the State. The “reservation regions for the winning of raw materials” which are determined then serve to protect reserves of raw materials which are identified. In the World Heritage property, this relates solely to a small area of limestone quarrying. “Tourism should be further developed on a sustained basis as a branch of the economy in Saxony-Anhalt, and expanded further.” (Principle 134). The tourism highlights of the State, such as the “Romanesque Road” (consisting of 80 objects in 65 locations), should also be further developed. “As a heartland of German history, with structural and natural monuments of outstanding German and European importance, cultural tourism is a primary element and is to be strengthened by appropriate measures.” (Principle 136). The high importance on the national and international level is expressed in particular by way of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites, which form a focal point in the development of tourism. The nature parks, such as the “Saale-Unstrut-Triasland”, “(…) serve to a particular degree to allow for recreation with the emphasis on nature, and in a manner compatible with nature.” (Principle 139). In the Land Development Plan 2010 provision is made for “reservation areas for tourism and recreation”, “(…) which, because of their potentials in respect of landscape and natural surroundings, and the development and/ or existing resource of tourist and cultural facilities, are particularly well-suited for tourism and recreation.” (Aim 144) The “Saale-Unstrut Valley Wine Region” is specified as a reservation area, because the historical cultural landscape is characterized by a large number of cultural monuments, dating in particular from the time of the High Middle Ages, and by terrace vine cultivation. Culture is emphasised as a major potential of the State as a whole. “Culture should serve to shape the Saxony-Anhalt identity, and provide a major contribution to the perception of Saxony-Anhalt beyond the borders of the State and beyond the frontiers of Ger- many itself.” (Principle 148). In the Establishment of Principles, attention is drawn to the importance of the State, which is manifested in particular in UNESCO World Heritage sites. 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

Historical centres of locations and historical areas of towns and villages are be secured on a lasting basis. “Reservation areas for culture and the care of monuments, in which the securing, preservation, and making accessible of structural and landscape cultural heritage items are of particular importance.” (Aim 147) As well as the “garden kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz”, the “Naumburg Cathedral and the High Middle Ages cultural landscape on the Saale and Unstrut” are highlighted. It is made clear in the Establishment of Principles that the State supports the efforts of the region to be adopted onto the UNESCO World Heritage site list. This will knowingly strengthen the regional identity and the value of the cultural landscape, both within and outside the State, and make it a familiar name.

Thelandscape programme of the State of Saxony-Anhalt is an expertly prepared technical plan for the protection of nature, which was prepared in 1994 and is updated in sections. Taking account of international and national regulations regarding the protection of nature, the mandates under the legislation relating to the protection of nature are assigned to the individual items to be protected.

Consideration will now be given to the specific and supplemented aims and principles of the regional planning for the Halle Region, which affect the World Heritage property of the Saale and Unstrut. The definition of a “rural area with favourable production conditions for -ag riculture and/or potentials with regard to tourism” has been assigned, among others to the “(…) part areas in the northern, western, and southern sections of the district of Burgenland (including the recreation areas in the Saale-Unstrut-Triasland district) (…)” (5.1.3.3.2. Aim). The potentials for tourism are to be promoted by the development of the tourist infrastructure. The following locations have been designated as “preferential areas for nature and landscape” within the World Heritage property: L. Schafberg and Nüsseberg, near Zscheiplitz and Weischütz LI. Neue Göhle with Marienberg LII. Schlossberg (castle hill) near Freyburg LIII. Edelacker near Freyburg LIV. Parts of the Saale-Unstrut-Triasland district near Bad Bibra/Naum- burg – Tote Täler (“Dead Valleys”) south-west of Freyburg LV.

Parts of the Saale-Unstrut-Triasland district near Bad Bibra/Naum- burg – Göttersitz, Schenkholz and the Bad Kösen recreational woodland. LXI. Parts of the Saale-Unstrut-Triasland district near Bad Bibra/Naum- burg – Saale-Ilm Plateau and Himmelreich near Bad Kösen LXII. Saale valley slopes near Goseck

Exact aims regarding protection and conservation will be formulated for each preferential area. 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

In the planning for the Halle Region, more than 50 “preferential areas for agriculture” have been specified, which affect the World Heritage property: V. Areas around Bad Kösen X. Vineyard area around Goseck XVI. Vineyard area near Zscheiplitz XVII. Vineyard area west of Freyburg XVIII. Vineyard area north of Freyburg XIX. Vineyard area on the Neuenburg XX. Vineyard area at Edelacker XXI. Vineyard area near Eulau XXII. Vineyard area west of Naumburg XXIII. Vineyard area of Saalhäuser XXIV. Vineyard area near Pforta

“Preferential areas for forestry” are larger, cohesive areas of woodland, in which management is of particular importance. These include, among others:

“Reservation areas” supplement the “preferential areas”. In these areas, the setting of the aim towards development has not yet been definitively determined. In assessing the relative merits of competing demands, particular weight is to be given to the reservation function which has been assigned. The “reservation areas for the development of an ecological composite system” supplement the “preferential areas for nature and landscape”. The following reservation areas affect the World Heritage property: Neue Göhle and Alte Göhle Saale Valley and the adjacent valleys Part areas of the Unstrut-Triasland district

In order to enlarge the areas of woodland, and in the interests of a balanced proportion between woodland, open land, and areas occupied by buildings in a har- monious cultural landscape, “reservation areas for reafforestation” have been specified. In the property this relates to the areas of: Rossbach afforestation (two part areas) Afforestation between Grossjena and Goseck (two part areas) Afforestation south of Neidschütz

There are no “preferential areas for the use of wind power” defined in the World Heritage property. At some distance, south of Naumburg, is the preferential area of “Molau”, and east of Naumburg is the preferential area of “Vier Berge/Teu- cherner Land”. Within the buffer zone of the property, the small suitability area of “Mar- kröhlitz” is designated in this respect. In order to attain a reasonable usage of wind power, the allocation of “smaller” wind farms is preferred for a large number of individual locations. Suitable areas are specified in the regional planning documents. In this context, the effect of the wind farm installations is to be taken into account, inter alia, on the image of the location, the town silhouette, lines of sight on a large scale, the 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

landscape image, settlements, cultural heritage elements, the tourism and recreation functions, and the balance of nature. “Wind power installations which are of regional significance are to be concentrated in suitability areas and preferential areas with the effect of preferential areas, with the consequence that an installation outside these areas is not permissible.” (5.8.1.11. Aim) In the “preferential areas for the utilization of wind power”, other uses of regional significance which are not capable of being combined with the generation of wind power are excluded. In the “suitability areas for the use of wind energy“, suitability for the generation of wind energy is to be taken into account by way of a balanced appraisal.

It is intended that the Halle planning region should be provided with efficient transport links to the neighbouring regions and to the inter-regional transport network. The connection to the European transport route network should be improved. In the central locations in particular, good transfer possibilities between individual and public transport should be created.

The master plan sets forth the aims and measures for the functionally appropriate conservation of woodland, woodland development, and woodland management. These in turn provide the guidelines and aids to decisionmaking in respect of forestry policy and forestry techniques. On the basis of a detailed description of the planning region, its status and condition have been analyzed and evaluated. Aims and measures are being formulated with regard to the conservation of woodlands, woodland prolifera- tion, and securing and improvement of the function of woodlands. As well as the existing woodland resources, areas of investigation for reafforestation and woodland exclusion areas will be determined and described. In the nominated property there are the following investigation areas for reafforestation (total area or part area): Woodland area between Eulau and Dobichau – Goseck, Grosswilsdorf and its surroundings, Freyburg – Alte Göhle, Schönburg – Possenhain – Leissling,

These areas must be compared in the cultural landscape master plan with the results from the cultural landscape land register. Also located in the protection region is the “Bad Kösen Recreation Area“, especially protected in accordance with Art. 17 WaldG LSA (Sachsen-Anhalt Wood- lands Law ).

3.3.6 Ordinances in accordance with 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection the Nature Protection Law

In addition to the protective function of the Monument Protection Law, in the cultural landscape the Nature Protection Law also makes a contribution towards retaining its unmistakeable character. Even if the settings of the aims are not yet congruent in their entirety, there is nevertheless a high degree of concordance in content, in particular in situations in which the use of the areas has in principal remained constant since the Middle Ages.

On the basis of the Federal Nature Protection Law, parts of nature and landscape can be put under protection. The executive nature protection authority is responsible for the assignment of nature protection areas. In these areas, protection is a requirement in order to safeguard biotopes of certain specific types of flora and fauna, for scientific, natural

A detaileddescriptionisgiven intheOrdinance ofthenatural circumstances 58 ------The ordnances relating to the Saale-Unstrut-Triasland Nature Park were approved by the local authorities concerned in the year 2000. The Nature Park area is divided into three zones: 1. The Nature Protection Zone (Zone I), 2. the Lands- cape Protection and Recreation Zone (Zone II), and the Buffer and Development Zone (Zone III). Zone I contains the nature protection areas which have force of law and are provisionally secured. Located in Zone II are the landscape protection areas. The other areas are contained in Zone III. The Ordinances set forth a number of precepts and stipulations. Article 6 specifies: “(…)1. as well as the uniqueness and beauty of the landscape and the variety of the natural attractions, the cultural historical values and traditions, and the typical uses of the land, such as vine cultivation, are to be safeguarded and promoted (…), 2. The Nature Park is to be secured for recreation and tourism, linked to specifically aimed public relations work (…). 3. The securing of the sustained use of areas of significance with regard to agriculture, forestry, and water management, in concordance with the aims of protection …, 4. The structure of settlement, typical of the region, with historically evolved locality images in traditional forms of architecture, with gardens, vineyards, and open spaces are to be retained, (…), 6. A network of walking paths to guide visitors … is to be created and developed.” The authority responsible for the upkeep of the Nature Park is the “Saale-Unstrut-Triasland Nature Park e.V.” Association.

Natural monuments are elements which are placed under protection indivi- dually or over small areas, for reasons of scientific, natural history, or national and cultural history reasons, or due to their rarity, uniqueness, or beauty. Loca- ted in the World Heritage property are: 20 natural monument areas, and 30 individual natural monuments (trees).

The Federal Nature Protection Law provides protection for certain areas of nature and landscape which have special importance as biotopes. The biotopes which are specifically named in Art. 30 of the Federal Nature Protection Law are 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

supplemented in Saxony-Anhalt by additional biotope living space areas, in accordance with Art. 22 of the Nature Protection Law of the State of Saxony-Anhalt. The local nature protection authority is responsible for the categorization of the legally protected biotopes.

By way of the “Natura 2000” network, the European Union has created framework conditions for the protection of nature and for the preservation of biological diversity in the Member States. The aim is to build up a cohesive network of protection areas which in terms of size correspond to about 10 % of the land surface area. The Member States have notified the EU of the creation of “EU Bird Protection Areas” in accordance with the provisions of the Bird Protection Directive (of 1979), and “Fauna-Flora Habitat Areas” (FFH areas) in accordance with the “Fauna-Flora Habitat Directive” (of 1992).

Management plans are being drawn up for the “Natura 2000 areas”, which form the basis for placement under protection on the State level. In Saxony-Anhalt,

In the development forecasts made at the time, the view was taken that the advantages of Naumburg as a residential town, the location in the landscape region of the Saale, the historic Old Town, and the prolific greenery of the residential areas around the Old Town, should be increasingly emphasised. The favourable topographic location of Naumburg, on a plateau with a marked terrace-like inclination in a loop of the Saale, and the intermesh between the compact bodies of settlement and the natural surroundings, should likewise be taken into account with greater emphasis. The restructuring of three quarters of the Old Town was given priority. The further renewal of the buildings in these quarters, and the arrangement of open spaces, form the basic preconditions for making living in the Old Town an attractive prospect. The green belt around the Old Town should be extended, and the surrounding residential areas improved by the provision of open spaces in public areas and the rustic buildings of the quarters concerned.

Township of Naumburg: Area utilization plans Under the regional reform programme which has been in effect since 01.01.2010, the urban area of the township of Naumburg has been growing larger, to about 130 km². The number of urban entities has risen from 13 to 31. The area utilization plan consists of three plan sections. The area utilization plan for the township of Naumburg has force of law within the municipal boundaries which were in effect up until 31.12.2009. A supplementary area utilization plan has been in place since 2011 for the former municipalities of Bad Kösen, Janisroda and Priessnitz The scope of application includes areas of the property and the buffer zone.

Area Utilization Plan for the Township of Naumburg (of 21.12.2009) 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

The Area Utilization Plan (FNP) applies to the township of Naumburg, including the urban entities of Beuditz, Boblas, Eulau, Flemmingen, Grossjena, Grosswils- dorf, Kleinjena, Meyhen, Neidschütz, Neuflemmingen, Rossbach, Schellsitz and Wettaburg. Due to the structural and demographic change which has taken effect over the past few years, the township is now adopting new orientations in its planning principles. It is reacting with a contemporary furtherance of the future requirements of the area, which in part are recessive. The contents of the planning are binding, but not on private property owners. The planning took account of the provisions from the regional planning, from the landscape plan for the area of the town (from 1999), and the results of the town development concept. The building guidance plan provides the aims and directions for town planning development on the planning horizon up until 2025, on the basis of assessments of resources and expert opinions, and weighing up public and private needs and concerns. The town is striving to achieve a sustained utilization of space which will be socially compatible and economically viable in the long term, and which will

Specifically named in this connection are the “pre-industrial Old Town”, the “villa and civil servants’ quarter”, and the “works and association settlements”. In all other areas, the use of solar energy systems is included in the calculations in the determination of the energy requirement. The study relating to the urban renewal in terms of energy is indeed not an instrument of protection for World Heritage, but it is deeply concerned with the current social mission of our country as a whole, to expedite the elimination of atomic energy, increasing the proportion of renewable sources of energy, econo- mizing on energy in general, and bringing down CO2 emissions. It emphasizes the energy savings potentials and the effects of the change of energy sources in the towns and municipalities.

Township of Naumburg: Urban renewal in terms of energy – Quarter concept: “South-east Old Town” (of 2012) In order to investigate the possibilities involved in urban renewal with regard to energy in the Old Town, and taking account of the special requirements in terms of town planning and the care of monuments, the township of Naum- burg has arranged for a concept to be prepared for a quarter in the south-east of the Old Town.

Township of Naumburg, villages as parts of the location: Village renewal and village development The promotional programme for village renewal and village development has the aim of retaining and sustaining the village-like character of rural locations, promoting the sense of community, and generally improving the living circumstances of the rural population. In previous village renewal planning, the typical 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

local characterization features and building materials were analyzed, strengths and weaknesses determined, and guiding concepts and goals for the further development of these locations put forward. In a fixed time frame (as a rule of five years), public and private building and development measures will be put into effect or promoted, which accord with the aims of the village renewal planning. The promotional funds will be forthcoming from the European Union, the Fede- ral Republic, and the State of Saxony-Anhalt. All the parts of the Naumburg location characterized as villages were already focal point municipalities in the promotional programme for village renewal and village development.

Municipality of Schönburg: Area utilization plan The area utilization plan for the municipality of Schönburg, with the district of Possenhain, has had force of law since 19.06.2002. No new building expansion areas have been specified for either location. The own requirement for building areas resulting from the municipalities’ own requirements can be covered by the areas already zoned for construction. Schönburg is located within the property, and the district of Possenhain in the buffer zone.

Municipality of Schönburg: Village renewal and village development Following a precise analysis of the arrangements relating to construction and the building materials, and of the resultant village renewal planning, it proved possible between 1995 and 1999 in the district of Possenhain for construction to be carried out on transport routes, community facilities, and private buildings which contributed to the character of the locality, and promoted with resources from the European Union, the Federal Republic, and the State of Saxony-Anhalt. From 2001 to 2006 the district of Schönburg was a focal municipality in the promotional programme for village renewal.

Municipality of Wethau: Area utilization plan The area utilization plan adopted by the municipality of Wethau has had force of law since 19.07.2006. No new building areas have been scheduled in the municipality. The construction areas which have already been designated provide adequate reserve areas for the erection of residential properties or, respectively, for smaller craft and trade businesses. 3. Items to be protected, purpose and instruments of protection

The municipality of Wethau lies in the buffer zone of the nominated property.

Municipality of Wethau: Village renewal and village development The village renewal planning for the municipality of Wethau included an analysis of the existing catalogue of buildings, the arrangement elements which cha- racterize the image of the locality and the infrastructure, developed guidance concepts for the further arrangement of the village, and formulated specific aims for future development. Between 1996 and 2001, with funds from the promotional programme for village renewal, measures were put into effect for conserving the image of the locality, supporting the life of the community, and improving the infrastructure.

Cultural Landscape Register With the decision that not only the individual significant monuments of the cultural landscape of the High Middle Ages in the Saale-Unstrut region were to be selected as items to be protected and adopted onto the World Heritage list, but also the rich cultural landscape surrounding them, the task was then simultaneously incurred of analyzing all this protected heritage, both spatially and qualitatively. Accordingly, during a preparatory phase in the period from 2008 to 2012, comprehensive investigations were conducted in the sense of a cultural land- 4. Protected area scape register. This focused on the four main areas of the nominated property outside the enclosed urban areas of Naumburg and Freyburg: The municipalities of Schönburg and Goseck in the east (2008/2009) The town of Bad Kösen and the municipality of Flemmingen in the south west (2009/2010) The municipality of Wethau and parts of the municipality of Naumburg in the south (2011/2012) The area around Freyburg in the north (2011/2012).

The areas under investigation accordingly included the landscape regions along the middle Saale between Kleinheringen in the south-west and Eulau in the north-east, as well as the lower Unstrut from Weischütz in the north-west as far as the confluence with the Saale. In 2010, commissioned by the Förderverein Welterbe an Saale und Unstrut e.V. the Promotional Association for World Heritage on the Saale and Unstrut, local and cross-regional constitutive visual relationships were examined with regard to particularly striking cultural landscape elements, such as castles, church towers, and town silhouettes, in the vicinity of the towns of Naumburg and Freyburg, as well as in the municipal areas of Goseck, Schönburg, Wethau and Mertendorf.

81 Management Plan 4.2 Determination of the limits of the protected area

The topographic situation of the nominated property along the eponymous river valleys and river meadowlands of the Saale and Unstrut leads on the one hand to the impression of space in a landscape which unfolds directly along the courses of the rives, and is delimited by the steep inclines on both sides, leading to the highlands which accompany the rivers. The attractiveness of these valley landscapes has meant that the paths and tracks in these areas have long been in use by tourists, as regional and inter-regional footpaths and bicycle tracks.

Investigating the horizon lines 4. Protected area On the other hand, the topography also creates a large number of high points, with views opening out before them, both into the river valleys below as well as over the high ground above, and far off into the surrounding countryside. It was therefore deemed a sensible approach to settle on specific delimita- tions of the observation points and viewing lines, taking account of what the users and visitors can specifically experience of the cultural landscape, and to document this by way of an investigation of the horizon lines.

The valleys of Saale and Unstrut As the first observation level in the close vicinity, the horizon lines of the accompanying paths and tracks along the courses of the Saale and Unstrut were determined, and superimposed on the area of the confluence. Following the general arrangement of the terrain, the valley areas of the Saale, which can be seen into, develop from the south-west to the north-east, from what are initially re- latively narrow areas, such as in the vicinity of the impressive locations of Saa- leck and Rudelsburg Castles overlooking Bad Kösen, to considerable widening in the area of the mouth of the Unstrut and the area of the township of Naumburg, centrally located on the southern bank slope of the Saale, which then continues eastwards, to the boundary of the region. By contrast, in the upper north-western area, before entering the property, the Unstrut still allows for wide panoramic view of the forelands around the town of Laucha, but with the area to be appreciated then narrowing perceptibly

Striking high points / Study of lines of sight The study of lines of sight conducted in 2010, with more than 250 viewing relationships documented, showed that all the important lines of sight perceptibly developed along the courses of the rivers. As striking viewpoints, which at the same time represent traditional major tourist attractions, the following ten locations were analyzed with regard to the delimitation of the zones of the property:

An aid in the decision with regard to the description of the quality of experience of the nominated properety was provided by overlaying the horizon line analy- 4. Protected area sis of all ten of the high points examined. In this context it becomes clear that, despite there being different observation locations, a considerable common portion is derived from the intersecting portions of the areas encompassed by the horizon lines, which are predominantly located inside the property. Exceptions to this are the broad views of the south-east hinterland of Naum- burg, seen from the Max Klinger gravesite and from the Prince Heinrich Stone, which extend to a distance of up to 8 kilometres outside the property.

Integrating the High Middle Ages elements of the Cultural Landscape The integration of the relevant areas of the horizon lines in the valley locations and of the high points would be a conceivable variant on the delimitation of the property of the World Heritage list. However, if the area defined in this way is overlaid on the key features of the cultural landscape, in particular with the schedule of elements which in terms of their origin are to be allocated to the Middle Ages, then it rapidly becomes clear that substantial areas of all categories, which bear witness to the continuity of the historical presence, would not be included. This relates both to areas of forestation, of agriculture, and of vine cultivation, as well as important village settlements with their centrally located village churches dating from the period of the High Middle Ages, and also the courses of historic trans-European and cross-regional road links (Via Regia, highways to Regensburg, Halle-Magdeburg and Leipzig-Breslau) in the property.

The buffer zone supplements the heart area in such parts of the previous examination region which exhibit a less dense presence of elements of the cultural landscape from the High Middle Ages, but which nevertheless play an important part for the nominated property. At the same time, this also allows for part areas of the horizon line sections to be appraised which project beyond the property. In the case of the north-east buffer zone, the prime consideration is the protection of the traditional means of access to the heart area, inasmuch as this comprises the viewing points from the historic road connections. 4. Protected area Following the refinement of the delimitation, carried out on the basis of the 1:10,000 property map, the sum total of the six part areas of the buffer zone amounts to 6,232 ha. Accordingly, the region of the nominated property as a whole and the buffer zone, comprises a surface area of 16,633 ha.

The nominated property of the Landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut, territories of power in the High Middle Ages, is situated, with its buffer zone, in the territory of the Burgenlandkreis in the south-eastern part of Saxony-Anhalt, close to the free state of Thuringia. Since the local government reorganisation in 2009, four regional administrative bodies have been responsible for the administration of the subject of protection submitted: The city of Naumburg in the south east the collective municipality of Unstruttal with the city of Freyburg in the north and the collective municipality of Wethautal in the east of the region the collective municipality of An der Finne in a region on the border in the west 5. Administrative system

The following public administrations and institutions, foundations under public law and the administration of the Evangelical Church in Central Germany are responsible for the affairs of the historic cultural landscape of the nominated property. The named tasks do not portray the complete range of the administrations’ tasks. They have been selected for their possible function apropos the historic cultural landscape.

In the context of the diverse high mediaeval elements of the historic cultural landscape, the forms of ownership also have a very complex structure.

Cultural landscape / towns / villages / districts Within the scope of mapping the cultural landscape elements alone, 3029 elements outside the cities of Naumburg and Freyburg have been recorded and examined, 720 of which can be attributed to the period of the High Middle Ages. These comprise landed property, buildings and individual properties, which are under both public and private ownership. Detailed information on the general history of the structuring of the space through borders and enclosures as a consequence of the different forms of use from the Middle Ages to modern times is given in the essay in the application dossier “Summary of the results of the cultural landscape mapping” in Chapter 4. The proof of the position of the areas, their dimensions and ownership structure is managed in Saxony-Anhalt in the automated land survey register (ALK). The land register consists of a property book with the descriptive data and 5. Administrative system details of ownership, plus a property plan giving the geometric and descriptive data of the plots of land and buildings. The administrative districts and parishes can use the land survey register for the execution of their duties in accordance with the Saxony-Anhalt Survey and Geoinformation Act.

For the distinguished ensemble of Naumburg Cathedral with its immunity district, the Goseck castle grounds and Neuenburg Castle, and for the former Klos- ter Pforta, the foundations responsible under public law constitute a special gu- arantee for the preservation of the subject of protection for which inscription on the World Heritage List is being applied.

United Chapters Foundations of the Cathedrals of Merseburg and Naum- burg and the Collegiate Chapter of Zeitz The United Chapters Foundations are among the richest traditional foundations in Germany and go back to 1930 in their current legal form. Foundations under public law developed from the earlier, first Catholic, later evangelical church institutions, and merged in 1930.The roots of the Naumburg Chapters Foundation go back to the early 11th century, when the Naumburg cathedral chapter was founded. In addition to the properties of Naumburg Cathedral and St Mary’s Church, the Foundation also owns significant movable works of art from the Middle Ages and the early modern period (altars, sculptures, paintings), as well as valuable archive and library holdings.

(2) The Foundation is authorised to raise money from third parties, in particular the Federal State and other regional administrative bodies, in order to use it for the purpose of the Foundation.”

Schulpforta Foundation As proprietor, along with the State of Saxony-Anhalt, of the largest part of the properties of the former Kloster Pforte, with the grounds of the estate within the abbey area the Schulpforta Foundation owns a stock of important buildings and plots of land. Its history is described in the preamble of the Foundation statute: “On 21 May 1543 Herzog Moritz, from Saxony in the Saale Valley near Naum- burg, erected the buildings of the abolished Cistercian abbey “Zur Pforte”, one of 5. Administrative system the three Saxon Fürstenschulen, and endowed it with extensive land, in order “to support and teach the lads for nothing”. This “Schulpforta Foundation” spon- sored this boarding school for almost 400 years. .After it had been rebuilt, the State of Saxony-Anhalt took over the existing school as a state boarding school for secondary age pupils. In 1991, at the sug- gestion of former pupils, the State’s Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs appointed a Foundation board of trustees to deal with the restitution of the previous endowment capital that was still available. On 11.11.1997, by decree of the state government, the “Stiftung Schulpforta”, a foundation under public law with legal capacity, was established. This was subsequently designated as part of the original agricultural and forest assets.” The purpose of the Foundation is formulated in Article 2 of the statute: (1) Purpose of the Foundation is the funding of the state-owned boarding school “Landesschule Pforta”. (2) The Foundation realises this purpose in particular by (…) financing special measures to preserve the listed building stock in the school grounds, financing special items of equipment for the school. (3) In addition the purpose of the Foundation is to carry out public relations work for the state school and the entire historico-cultural complex of Schul- pforta.

5.3.1 Planning and stipulations

Designation of the heritage area “Landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut – territories of power in the High Middle Ages “ In the findings of the extensive and detailed studies on the cultural landscape of 5. Administrative system the rivers Saale and Unstrut, the Monument Agency has established the entire historic cultural landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut (subject of protection of the World Heritage property) as a monument. For this reason, the area within the borders of the subject of protection is designated as a monument area according to Article 2 (2) of the Monument Protection Act of the State of Saxony-Anhalt. The State Agency for Heritage and Archaeology differs to the Monument Agency in its protective goals, in accordance with the different values as monuments of the cultural landscape elements that are situated within it (cultural landscape elements within the meaning of cultural monuments according to the Mo- nument Protection Act LSA). When granting legal approvals, requirements and conditions concerning monuments, the gradation of the value of the monument must be taken into consideration. The monument area entitled “Landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut, territories of power in the High Middle Ages” was inscribed by the Specialist Monument Authority on the list of buildings of historic importance on the monument register, for information only, for Burgenland- kreis and the city of Naumburg. It is up to the owners, holders or holders of the right of disposal of the plots of land concerned to establish the character of the monument by informing the lower monument protection authorities. Further- more the authorities whose factual and spatial area of responsibility is affected will be informed of the establishment of the character of the monument of the cultural landscape and the protective goals being pursued.

The Welterbeverein an Saale und Unstrut e.V. is responsible for the planning. This organisation brings together the local authorities, the Burgenlandkreis plus the important players from the region who are committed to the preservation of World Heritage in Saale and Unstrut. The State of Saxony-Anhalt will support the development of the cultural landscape framework plan.

Saxony-Anhalt regional development plan and regional development plan for the Halle planning region The Saxony-Anhalt regional development plan 2010 already takes into consideration the efforts to inscribe the historic cultural landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut on the World Heritage List. The regional development plan is currently being revised and is building on the objectives worked on in the Saxony- Anhalt regional development plan for the preservation of the historic cultural landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut. In future updating of the Saxony- Anhalt regional development plan and the regional development plan for the Halle planning region, information on the designation of the monument area “Landscape on the rivers Saale and Unstrut, territories of power” and on the status of the application for inscription of the property in Saale and Unstrut will be added. The protective goals applicable for the monument region are being adopted. They must be balanced with the goals and principles previously formulated for the property. Should development conflicts be in evidence, the competing objectives must be carefully considered and mediated. The Outstanding Univer- sal Value of World Heritage in Saale and Unstrut must be given particular consi- 5. Administrative system deration in the weighing-up process.

Land-use plans and integrated urban development concepts The local authorities revise their land-use plans and integrated urban development concepts in a period of around ten to fifteen years. The city of Freyburg is drawing up an integrated urban development concept by May 2013. The focal points are the preservation and renovation of the old town, the protection of the surrounding cultural landscape with its vineyards, plus climate protection and the use of renewable energies in the old town area. The city of Naumburg will start updating its integrated urban development concept in 2013. Head- line goals and strategies for urban redevelopment as a reaction to demographic change are to be worked out, based on the population forecast. The changing circumstances require need-oriented adjustments in the housing structure and in the social and technical infrastructure. Another thematic priority will be energy-saving measures for the city. The focus is to be on the preservation and development of Naumburg city centre and other urban centres, e.g. Bad Kösen’s old town. Information on the monument area and the World Heritage application is being incorporated into future plans. The protective goals for the cultural landscape elements have been accepted and contrasted with the goals for land-use to

Landscape programme for the State of Saxony-Anhalt The preservation of the cultural landscape and the overall appearance of the landscape constitutes an intrinsic objective of the landscape programme. Up- dating the technical planning with expert opinions affords the opportunity to work in the findings from the register of cultural landscapes for the nominated property when determining and assessing the state of the natural environment. The protective goals for the cultural landscape elements in the monument area “Landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut – territories of power in the High Middle Ages” are to be taken into consideration in the landscape programme and balanced with the protective goals and general principle in terms of nature protection law. The action concept of the landscape programme, which contains protective, maintenance and development measures, must, if appropriate, be adapted in the property area in such a way that preservation of the cultural landscape elements of the High Middle Ages has priority.

Landscape plan Burgenlandkreis The landscape plans for the (old) districts of Naumburg and Weißenfels are to be consolidated and updated in a joint plan for the Burgenlandkreis newly formed after the administrative reform. The cultural landscape register for the nominated property must be incorporated into the survey. Taking into consi- 5. Administrative system deration the protective goals with regard to monument preservation for the monument area “Landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut, territories of power”, a concept for suitable protective, maintenance and development measures is to be drawn up.

„Natura 2000“ areas The necessary management plans are to be completed for all registered “Natura 2000“ areas. In these plans the protective goals for the cultural landscape elements from the High Middle Ages are to be taken into consideration. On the basis of the management plans, the “Natural 2000” - areas will be declared nature protected areas by decree. The landscape elements lying in these areas enjoy double protective status.

Mapping of legally protected biotopes Certain parts of nature and landscape, which have a particular significance as biotopes, are protected by law. The protected biotopes are listed in the Federal Nature Conservation Act and expanded through the Nature Conservation Act of the State of Saxony-Anhalt. Protected biotopes include, for example, near-natural areas of flowing inland waters, dry grassland, semi-dry grassland, woods and scrub in hot and dry locations, hedgerows and copses (outside of areas used for market gardens) and meadows scattered with fruit trees. They must not be de-

Funding of renovation and cultural landscape preservation The renovation of cultural monuments, properties in the Old Towns of Naum- burg, Freyburg and Bad Kösen and in the historic village centres, and also the preservation of the cultural landscape, are ongoing tasks that are extremely important for maintaining the property for which inscription on the World Heri- tage List is being applied. These works, which must be executed with great commitment to quality, cannot be financed through revenue in most cases. Without corresponding funding through the State of Saxony-Anhalt, the Federal Repub- lic of Germany and the European Union these services cannot be provided on a permanent basis. The owners and land-users are reliant on development funds, but conversely the funding bodies can attach clearly defined requirements to the services to be executed through the funding programme. In the case of certain funding programmes, e.g. for the promotion of urban development, the municipal bodies and foundations must provide the necessary complementary shares for the increase of the development funds in their budgets. The readiness of the State of Saxony-Anhalt to give the World Heritage property, with its wide range of demands and requirements, the necessary priority, was already very clear in the years when the application was being prepared. Considerable financial resources were made available from different departments. 5. Administrative system

5.3.3 Information and agreement

Förderverein an Saale und Unstrut e.V. The Förderverein Welterbe an Saale und Unstrut e.V. is made up of those players from the region who actively champion the inscription of the Landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut, territories of power in the High Middle Ages (see Management Plan Annex 2 Statute of the Förderverein Welterbe an Saale und Unstrut e.V). The association will promote the preservation of monuments, the conservation of nature and landscape preservation with the aim of maintaining the cultural landscape. The association provides the framework for members and interested citizens to compare notes, to inform people on planned activities and to discuss developments and ideas. This is where involved citizens can speak directly with representatives of the local authorities, foundations and institutions.

The members of the association will advise landlords and landowners, authorities, associations and institutions on the subject of protection in the property and give advice on the protective goals for preserving the cultural landscape. The association also sets itself the task of regularly informing the general public on World Heritage thinking in general, the Landscape of the rivers

They should agree at an early stage on competing objectives and conflicts of interest, in order to find common solution processes that can be accepted by both sides. The mutual information and close collaboration of all authorities including the local administrations is an essential prerequisite for the protection and ongoing preservation of the cultural landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut (see also World Heritage working group of the rivers Saale and Unstrut). 5.

5.4.1 Impact due to developments

Traffic Private transport and goods traffic on the road has increased greatly over the past twenty years. With the rise in road traffic, stresses and strains on the environment have also increased. Cultural landscape elements are directly impaired by traffic emissions, such as air pollution, fine dust, noise and vibrations. A wide range of measures are already taking place to reduce the negative impact on 5. Administrative system the environment in the property. The important A and B roads are being improved structurally, a bypass is easing the strain of through traffic in the centre of Freyburg, inner-city main roads are being resurfaced to reduce traffic noise and vibrations, catalytic converters and rust particle filters in cars reduce pollutant emissions.

Protective measures: the construction of new road layouts must be kept to a minimum as a matter of principle, e.g. by intelligent routing. When choosing new routes special emphasis must be placed on route planning compatible with the overall appearance of the landscape.

Current and approved plans (as at 2/2013): Bad Kösen bypass for A road B 87: official planning approval has been legally binding since 30.11.2010 (route is outside the property) Naumburg bypass for A road B 87: is in the plan approval procedure, the de- bate has taken place (route runs in the buffer zone) Extension of the B 87 / B 180 / L 200, crossroads at Wethau, and the B 180 up to the crossroads of district road K 2627: official planning approval has been legally binding since 22.01.2013 (route runs in the buffer zone) Route change for the A road B 87 between the sites of Schulpforte and Alm- rich / City of Naumburg (route runs in the property)

Demographic change The falling or stagnating birth rate and the increasing life expectancy of the in- habitants of Burgenlandkreis is following the national trend for a decrease in and relative ageing of the population. As a consequence the number of homes standing empty has increased. In cities residential buildings are having to be de- 5. Administrative system molished, so in the outskirts there is the opportunity to recultivate and redesign the area on the periphery of the inhabited area. In the inner city areas a lack of urban planning can arise due to empty properties. The space between buildings brought about through demolition represents suitable inner-city building plots for redevelopment.

Protective measures: Using integrated urban development concepts and city quarter planning, plans for the process of housing redevelopment and subsequent use of the area are to be prepared and managed, as was begun for the city of Naumburg in the integrated urban development concept in 2001 (see Ma- nagement Plan 3.3 Instruments of protection). The residential and living conditions in the inner city quarters and villages are to be improved so that these residential places remain attractive in the long term and can be preserved.

Preservation of the cultural landscape Over the past few decades, changes in management and preservation have been put into effect that also present threats to the historic cultural landscape.

Protective measures: The interests of famers with large areas of arable land and the interests of society in preserving or reproducing elements that divide the landscape, such as rows of trees or copses, must be reconciled with preserving

- - The lead, arsenic, nickel and cadmium concentration in the fine dust at the locations with the highest pollution is well below the relevant limit and target values and also below the lower assessment threshold.

In the nominated property fifteen plants requiring approval according to the Federal Emission Control Act are operating, which are approved and regularly inspected by the emission control authority. In addition two further plants are operating that are subject to the jurisdiction of the higher emission control authorities with regard to emission control law.

Higher emission control authority Supervision of lower emission control authorities, approvals with regard to emission control law and enforcing monitoring

If they are operated according to the regulations it is not expected that any harmful environmental effects will emanate from them onto the subject of protection.

Protective measures: compliance with the standard values proscribed in the Fe- deral Emission Control Act for industry, heating plants and vehicles is ensured through regular checks by the emission control authorities or other officials. Energy-saving measures, the reduced use of fossil fuels and residuals in heat generation and the immediate launch of new low-pollutant technologies in the economy and in traffic engineering make an important contribution to reducing the emission of pollutants. 5. Administrative system

Climate change Climate change can also be proved in the property, e.g. through the increase in the average annual temperature. The Saale-Unstrut region has a mild climate with lower precipitation rates and more sunshine hours than neighbouring regions. These conditions favour winegrowing, for example. The biotopes have -ad apted to the dry and hot climate, giving rise, among other things, to ecologically valuable areas of dry grassland and semi-dry grassland. No detrimental changes have so far been established in the habitats of the property.

Protective measures: The weather data is collected and evaluated by the State office for the Environment Saxony-Anhalt. A working group is observing the climate changes in the state and the impact they are having. Concepts for dealing with climate change, e.g. for agriculture, are being developed in cooperation with specialist institutes. The city of Naumburg will work on a “climate concept” in 2013 – 2014.

For these bodies of water flood plains were designated in -ac cordance with the calculation for an average probability of a flood (flooding once a century). The flood plains on the Saale and the Unstrut have been confined by flood protection dykes.

Risk prevention: There are no specific land-use areas within the flood plain areas. No structural works may be rebuilt or other measures carried out that could impede the water outlet. The bodies of water are checked once a year in an inspection carried out by the responsible authorities The dykes are checked twice a year as part of a dyke inspection. Maintenance is incumbent on the State Office for Flood Protection and Water Management, which sets up danger and risk maps for areas with a significant risk of flooding. For the areas at risk it is working on risk management plans in which measures are established for reducing the detrimental consequences of the flood. The deployment documentation relates to the protection of people and animals, the environment and material and cultural properties. The State Office is responsible for the flood warning service. In case of a flood the water levels are measu- red at frequent intervals. When the levels reach certain heights, warning levels for introducing protective measures are issued. To support the State Office the municipalities maintain watch duties and emergency services for water hazard (water defences). Because the cultural monuments had been built at “unproblematic” heights, up to now they have never been badly threatened by floods. 5. Administrative system

Disaster management: If there should be a disaster, such as a storm, flood, fire or plane crash, depending on the location a disaster headquarters will be convened, directed by the administrative district. This headquarters will coordinate with responsible institutions such as the police, the Army, the emergency services, the technical emergency service and fire departments the course of the protective and supporting measures during the “major catastrophic event”. The appointed employees of the headquarters are regularly professionally and expertly trained, and a training disaster exercise takes place at least once a year in the district. Natural disasters are kept to a minimum through preventive measures and regular checking.

Polluted areas and suspected polluted areas All building projects in areas that are recorded as suspected polluted areas in the “Soil Protection” information system, are attended by the soil protection authority so that harmful changes to the soil can be detected and remediated. As long as the current uses are kept on the registered polluted areas and suspected polluted areas, there is no need for action to be taken. No negative effects on the subject of protection in the World Heritage property are currently known. 5. Administrative system

129 Management Plan 130 5.5 Monitoring and quality assurance

The continuous monitoring of the status of the inscribed World Heritage sites is an important safeguarding instrument for their preservation. With the ratification of the World Heritage convention, the contracting countries commit themselves to regular reporting on the state of conservation of the World Heritage sites and to updating information. The internal and external monitoring is depicted graphically below. After that the levels of monitoring are explained.

External monitoring The regular reporting is carried out by UNESCO in accordance with Article 29 of the World Heritage Convention in conjunction with Chapter V of the Guideli- nes. The contracting countries provide information on the state of conservation of their inscribed World Heritage sites and pool the results in a joint report for 5. Administrative system the continent in question. The contracting countries commit themselves to “reactive monitoring” of their inscribed World Heritage sites. The UNESCO World Heritage Committee is to be informed via the Secretariat in Paris of any significant measures for remedial action or rebuilding that may have an impact on the Outstanding Universal Value of the subject of protection. The information is to be provided at an early stage, e.g. before preparing basic planning documents and before any decisions are made that may be difficult to retract. The World He- ritage committee must strive to actively participate in the process of developing adequate or alternative solutions with the goal of preserving the Outstanding Universal Value of the property concerned. It decides on the relevancy of the impairment and on how to proceed to avert it.

Internal monitoring through a civic consultancy and controlling body Regional players and local politicians have set themselves the goal, supported by the State of Saxony-Anhalt, to preserve Naumburg Cathedral and the Landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut, territories of power in the High Middle Ages, with a wealth of cultural monuments and to apply for their inscription on the World Cultural Heritage list. Under the sponsorship of the United Chapters Founda- tions of the Cathedrals of Merseburg and Naumburg and the collegiate Chapter of Zeitz, the Burgenlandkreis and the city of Naumburg, they founded the För- derverein Welterbe an Saale und Unstrut e.V in 2008.

Internal monitoring through a regulatory control and checking body The Working Group World Heritage Saale and Unstrut is appointed by the Ministry of Education and Cultural Affairs of the State of Saxony-Anhalt as an official forum for mutual deliberation and agreement. In the working group representatives of the following responsible authorities work together depending on the group of topics being dealt with: Ministry of Education and Cultural Af- fairs Saxony-Anhalt, State Administration Office, State Office for Heritage and Archaeology, Office for Agriculture, Rural Land Consolidation and Forests South, district administration Burgenlandkreis, administrations of the Association of Towns and Municipalities. The working group is to be reinforced by IMG Inves- tions- und Marketinggesellschaft Sachsen-Anhalt mbh and experts. The direct connection between the local players is ensured by the representation of the Förderverein Welterbe an Saale und Unstrut e.V. The meetings of the Working Group World Heritage Saale and Unstrut form the framework for mutual information and agreements on different topics that affect the World Heritage applied for. Dangers for the subject of protection of any kind must be addressed so that an effective plan to avert the danger can be drawn up and its implementation supervised. Undesirable developments that would impair the subject of protection are to be pointed out and observed, in order to be able to counter them at an early stage. Conflicts of interest that may arise between the aims of different specialist areas are to be analysed and weig- 5. Administrative system hed up, so that decisions are made that support the preservation of the cultural landscape and cultural monuments. Participants are to agree planning relevant to regional planning in the ambit of the World Heritage property at an early stage. The working group will advise on projects relevant to regional planning and check their impact on the subject of protection. It will take a key position in conflict management for dealing with projects which create conflicts of interest with World Heritage. The working group will continuously check and evaluate the state of preservation of the subjects of protection using key indicators for quality assurance. The results will be compiled in a report.

Internal monitoring by specialist agencies and delegates The compulsory tasks of the approving authorities include the monitoring of measures, systems and processes that fall in their specialised and geographical sphere of responsibility. Local checks can take place at set intervals, e.g. for technical systems, or with no notice. In individual specialist areas delegates take on set monitoring tasks, e.g. honorary delegates for archaeology monitor substruc- ture and development works on building sites in agreement with the monument protection authority.

Conflict management is a voluntary action plan that will be used in the pha- ses of project planning and approval, if necessary also in objection proceedings, to avert conflicts that are an obstacle to the protection of the historic cultural landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut. The approving authority can establish with the inspection result in the approval procedure that a project could impair subjects of protection in the World Heritage property.

For projects with few conflicts of interest with World Heritage, the three internal monitoring bodies, the specialised and approving authorities, the World He- ritage Working Group an Saale and Unstrut and the Förderverein Welterbe an Saale und Unstrut e.V. are to undertake conflict management. The conflicts of interest are to be solved through intensive consultations with the project devel- opers, e.g. by working on alternative proposals. If no approach to the solution is found, the project is not approvable. 5. Administrative system For projects with significant conflicts of interest with World Heritage, e.g. spatially significant plans and projects, varied and complex impairments may arise for individual or several subjects of protection. These impairments must be fully recorded and evaluated. In addition to the preferential variants of the planning developer, other alternative solutions are also to be investigated with regard to their effects on the subjects of protection in the World Heritage property, so that they can be properly evaluated and compared.

The environmental impact assessment is appropriate for checking whether plans or measures for the historic cultural landscape of the rivers Saale and Un- strut are compatible. This procedure, which is carried out in accordance with the law on environmental impact assessment (see Management Plan 3.3 Ins- truments of protection), comprises the evaluation of the effect on all relevant subjects of protection, such as fauna, flora, water, overall appearance of the landscape including the cultural properties and material assets. But it is only proscribed for certain, significant projects. If the results of the environmental impact assessment for a final evaluation on whether subjects of protection of the World Heritage being applied for can be impaired are not adequate, or if the environmental impact assessment is not necessary, then another, comprehensive, examination of the plan must be carried out.

5.7.1 Public relations

The aim of comprehensive public relations is to increase the public’s understanding of World Heritage and the necessity of protecting the cultural landscape. Communicating the outstanding universal value plays a central role in this. Local citizens’ awareness of “their” World Heritage is boosted through continuous information and active internal marketing. Working with the different players and existing cultural, educational and economic institutions, we will work to make the subject of protection a lively cultural experience for both locals and visitors. 5.

The “Förderverein Welterbe an Saale und Unstrut e.V” (friends’ association) was founded in 2008 under the sponsorship of the United Chapters Founda- tion of the Cathedrals of Merseburg and Naumburg and the collegiate Chapter of Zeitz, the Burgenlandkreis and the City of Naumburg. The purpose of the association is the promotion of monument preservation, nature conservation and landscape preservation, the fostering of regional traditions and local history in order to maintain the cultural landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut (see management Plan Annex 2 Statute of the Förderverein Welterbe an Saale und Unstrut e.V). The aim of the non-profit association is to support the application process for inscription of the cultural landscape of the rivers Saale and Unstrut on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2015 and beyond. In its statute (see Annex to the Management Plan) the Förderverein has set itself tasks (see also Manage- ment Plan 5.3.3 Information and agreement, 5.5 Monitoring and quality assurance) including making the values of the cultural landscape “(…) known to the local population and outside the region through education, information and public relations (…)”. Furthermore it says that the association organises “(…) cultural and scientific events in which the cultural landscape and its main properties are presented to be good publicity (…)”. The association promotes “(…)World Heritage thinking in general and the understanding and acceptance of the local citizens of the application and its purpose in particular (…)”. The association initiates and promotes the “(…) cultural issues and activities, in order to maintain the ecological situation and the quality of life of the region (…)”. (Statute 5. Administrative system of the Förderverein Welterbe an Saale und Unstrut e.V Article 2, purpose, task, common public interest).

In addition to the World Heritage Förderverein, citizens from the region are very active in a wide range of associations for the preservation of individual historic buildings, the cultural landscape or the regional customs. Other tasks carried out by the associations are the research and communication of regional history, descriptions of the historic buildings and historic objects of art, the introduction of artists who are inspired by the cultural landscape, the preservation of historic art and music, and the promotion of winegrowing in the Saale-Unstrut region. Of the many associations, named below are those associations that have rendered outstanding services, in particular to the protection and preservation of the cultural landscape and individual historic buildings, historical research and communicating the values of the cultural landscape.

useum tions oncerts tural events, ------Applying methods of careful renovation, the medieval town centre has been sus- tainably restored since 1990, incorporating the valuable historic building fabric, including monuments of the World Heritage applied for.

Freyburg (Unstrut) is a small town with the function of a lower-order centre. The town has facilities for the supply of goods and services beyond the town itself, as well as in the social and cultural fields. Key commercial enterprises are the Rotkäppchen Sektkellerei (sparkling wine producer) and the Winzergenossen- schaft Freyburg (wine growers’ co-operative). With the focus on vineyards, wine and sparkling wine production and tourism, Freyburg utilises its potential for enduring positive development. The town of Freyburg (Unstrut) is a state-recognised resort town. With the restoration of the town the medieval town layout established by the landgraves was retained and carefully adapted to contemporary requirements.

Bad Kösen is also a lower-order centre and boasts facilities in commercial, social and cultural fields, as well as private services with a function beyond the town itself. The provisionally-recognised spa town expects to receive full state recognition in October 2014 and boasts spa facilities whose significance in some cases extends beyond the borders of the State of Saxony-Anhalt. € 5.4 m is set to be invested in the further development of the spa site from 2013 onwards. The synergies between spa activities and tourism that this is expected to generate should lead to a further upgrading of the region as a whole. 6. Sustainable use

After 1990 considerable changes occurred in the settlements of Saxony-Anhalt. Population figures declined. As a consequence, a portion of the housing stands empty. In the towns residential buildings have been demolished on the basis of urban development concepts, with the spaces that are subsequently created earmarked for ecologically meaningful use (cf. management plan 5.4 Risks and pre-emptive protection). The newly arisen demand for commercial construction sites could be largely met via the re-use of existing commercial sites or the development of new commercial estates.

The largely open form of the cultural landscape in central Germany is the result of centuries of agricultural use. The majority of the space not built upon comprises fields. As a consequence, agriculture is and remains the most significant custodian of the cultural landscape. As soon as the use and care of a landscape in central Germany is permanently abandoned multiple developmental stages are passed through, such as the establishment of bushes, en route to the natural succession, a mixed deciduous woodland. Use, care and preservation are closely interrelated in the landscape cultural landscape elements. If a site is used in accordance with its original purpose, it receives the necessary care and retains its form. If the use of a site is no longer economical according to current standards, then it is mostly only possible to work or care for the site with the use of subsidies. If use and care are not 6. Sustainable use

present over an extended period of time, then the nature and character of the landscape elements affected – and their appearance – are changed. In the following the natural cultural landscape elements are listed together with their use and care. Where the use or care in general requires state subsidy, this is noted.

Sustainability also encompasses the careful use of resources. The State of Sa- xony-Anhalt supports strategies for saving fossil fuels and the increased use of renewable energies. In the historic cultural landscape on the rivers Saale and Unstrut measures for saving energy in buildings and the use of plant to generate renewable energy need to be planned and implemented in a way that ensures no significant impact on the subject of protection. The towns of Naumburg (Saale) and Freyburg (Unstrut) are working on concepts for energetic urban renovation (cf. Manage- ment plan 3.3 Instruments of protection). In the World Heritage property a contribution is to be made towards reducing motorised individual transport and the resultant environmental pollution. Tou- rists and visitors will be given the opportunity to view the cultural monuments, the towns and the cultural landscape without having to use their own vehicle. Long-distance visitors can reach Naumburg by train. At Naumburg railway station it is possible to switch to buses that serve the town centre of Naumburg as 6. Sustainable use well as other towns and villages in the property. A comprehensive network of si- gnposted cycle paths and footpaths lead through the impressive cultural landscape of the Saale and Unstrut. By cycling or walking to the sights of the property culture, nature and recuperation can be combined ideally with one another.

169 Management Plan Naumburg, cobbled street(photo:SUT,Kubak) 170 6.4 Summary

The structural monuments of the High Middle Ages within the property are used with care in a sustainable manner commensurate with heritage conservation. This guarantees the long-term preservation of the cultural monuments. It is planned to establish World Heritage information points in Naumburg, at Kloster Zscheiplitz and Kloster Pforte (cf. Management plan 5.3.1 Planning and stipulations). The current usage structure in the villages is stable. Measures to improve the standard of living in rural areas need to be taken continuously, for example in the scope of village restoration, to ensure that the villages remain attractive residential locations in the long term. The towns adapt the building plots on offer to meet changing demand. In this the settlement structure is to be compact, with the central areas further reinforced. Energetic urban renewal represents a key task of the municipalities for the future. This will not have a significant impact on the historic cultural landscape of the property. 6. Sustainable use

The largest proportion of the cultural landscape areas has long-term, sustained use in the form of agriculture and forestry. The maintenance of cultural landscapes comprising open areas not used for agriculture is considerably more difficult. This can generally only be achieved with the aid of grants from the State of Saxony-Anhalt, the Federal Republic of Germany or the European Union. Without regular use and care the character of the habitat concerned - and consequently its appearance - will change. The portion of motorised individual transport generated by tourism should be reduced via the rail and bus connections offered as well as cycle paths and footpaths. The careful handling of cultural objects, the environmentally-friendly treat- ment of nature and the economical use of natural resources constitute the pil- lars of sustainable tourism for the protection of the historic cultural landscape on the rivers Saale and Unstrut.

Laws (overview)

The important federal and state laws (as at 1 April 2013), which serve the authorities and municipal regional administrative bodies for the protection of the pro-

perty, are listed in the annex. In the application (5c Funding for implementing Annex 1 the protective measures) and in the Management Plan (3.3 Instruments of protection) the most important laws that are of particular significance as protective tools are dealt with. In addition to the fundamental tasks and content of the laws, above all the content of references to the protection and preservation of the cultural landscape in its entirety, individual elements of the cultural landscape and in particular the cultural monuments are established. For this reason translating these laws into other languages has been dispensed with.
