Dear Readers,
„united in diversity“ – this has been the famous motto of the European Union since the year 2000. The district of the Burgenlandkreis also proceeds in agreement with its cities and communities according to this motto and has grown to a modern district with a strong identity, great attraction and high local density.
With the viticulture along the rivers Saale and Unstrut, the Naumburg Cathedral, the world-famous sky disc of Nebra, the monastery and the imperial palace of Memleben as well as its economy and tourism, the Burgenlandkreis has become an emerging and multifaceted region.
Living and working in the district of the Burgenlandkreis, people can rely on sustainable and strong networked medium-sized businesses. The activities and cooperation of our networks enrich this region to a significant extent, e.g. the network for food industry of Saxony-Anhalt South, the Middle German network for logistics, the Middle German network for metal, electrical systems and ceramic or the Middle German network for health.
The regional alliance for innovation, economy and labor – a consensus model with three pillars (i.e. the district administrator, employer representatives and employee representatives) – gives important impulses concerning the development of the economic parameters and for the close cooperation with the Middle German universities.
The district of the Burgenlandkreis managed to realize 13 European projects in the past years and generated additional financings amounting to 2.3 million Euro out of the European structural funds. Hereby, we could learn from the experiences of multiple European partners. These experiences have been useful for important challenges regarding developments in the fields of human resources, energy efficiency, the recultivation of post-mining landscapes and the viticulture in connection with the development of the tourism. Some examples of these projects are GovernEE, TRansIT and REVITAMIN.
We will continue to implement projects with European partners through intercultural cooperation in the current funding period which started in 2014. In doing so, we will further develop our region. It is particularly important to us to rebalance the demographic changes as well as to establish a welcoming culture.
A further main focus is on education. In present, we are developing a municipal education management system and will hereby support parental homes in the transition from kindergarten to elementary school and from school to vocational training.
I am looking forward to an intensive and sustainable cooperation and hope that the countries and regions can learn a lot from and enrich each other.
Sincerely yours,
Götz Ulrich District Administrator of the Burgenlandkreis Presentation of the district Administration
