Case Study Eifel Initiative Final
Eifel Initiative for the Future, Germany Urban-rural linkages enhancing European territorial competitiveness - Mini case study on business clusters Short description of the setting The Eifel region is a low mountain range in western Germany, bounded on the north, east, and south by the rivers and vineyards of the Ahr, Rhine, and Moselle, and by the forest of the Ardennes of Belgium and Luxembourg in the west. It covers an area of nearly 700.000 ha total, comprising 10 districts in two German Federal States (three districts in North Rhine-Westphalia and seven in Rhineland-Palatinate). All in all, the Eifel region gives home to about 900.000 inhabitants in 53 cities and towns. Amidst the cities of Aachen, Koblenz and Trier which mark the borders of Eifel, the region is rather lacking in infrastructure, with few industrial clusters, but mining, agriculture, viniculture, forestry and dairy farming predominating, and tourism as a growing sector. Savage beauty was and is one of the features of Eifel, and since 2004 about 110 km² of the Eifel have been protected as the nature reserve “Eifel National Park”. Vis à vis these conditions, the need for a joint strategy and co-operation for the development of Eifel as a competitive region was recognised by many actors across borders, and first implemented for the field of tourism. Innovative activity "Eifel - We are future" – with this motto, 10 Eifel districts, 53 local governments und 8 regional chambers of commerce in the two neighbouring German Federal States of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia and the German-speaking Community of Belgium have affiliated in the association “Eifel Initiative” in 2005, and thus established a remarkable regional partnership for creation of value.

Offenbach, 30 January 2015 – Frequent Weather Systems Coming in from the West Brought Varied Weather to Germany in January 2015
The weather in Germany in January 2015 Year of record temperatures in 2014 followed by a much too warm January 2015 Offenbach, 30 January 2015 – Frequent weather systems coming in from the west brought varied weather to Germany in January 2015. Everything was included, from spring-like warmth with record temperatures and severe storms to brief wintry interludes. Overall, the month was very mild with high precipitation and little sunshine. This is what the initial analysis by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) of data from its around 2,000 weather stations shows. Periods of spring-like warmth with record temperatures Following on from the year of 2014, which was the warmest since records began, January 2015, too, saw a positive temperature anomaly. At 2.1 degrees Celsius (°C), the average temperature was 2.6 degrees higher than the international reference value for 1961 to 1990 of -0.5°C. Compared to the warmer period 1981 to 2010, the deviation was +1.7°C. The influence of high pressure prevailed at the start of the month, but brought weather with little cloud cover only to the south. This caused the temperature over the snow cover existing there to fall and give hard frosts. Leutkirch-Herlazhofen in the Württemberg part of the Allgäu recorded the lowest temperature in January with -15.2°C in the night to 1 January. After that, lively westerly winds, which generally brought very mild air masses, prevailed under the influence of low pressure during the first twenty days of the month. On 10 January, the storm depression ‘Felix’ brought spring-like warmth to Germany.

Quality Criteria and Standards As a Basis for the Evaluation of Large-Scale Protected Areas in Germany
Quality criteria and standards as a basis for the evaluation of large-scale protected areas in Germany Volker Scherfose Abstract Protected areas are one of the key strategies to conserve the biological diversity in Germany. Shortcomings in the management efficiency of large-scale protected areas have impeded the achievement of the goals set for each protected area as well as the national conservation targets. In order to address this weakness, comprehensive evaluation systems based on quality criteria and standards have been developed for national parks, nature parks, and biosphere reserves in Germany. These monitor the status and trends of large-scale protected areas in a broad range such as framework conditions, natural conditions, conservation measures, institutional issues, education and research activities. The evaluation systems help identify weaknesses and enable the implementation of corrective measures and adjustment in the management strategies. In this paper the criteria systems are reviewed based on the experience of recent evaluations of large-scale protected areas in Germany and comparative analyses. Suggestions are presented towards the further refinement of the sets of criteria. 1 Introduction The last century has seen a steep worldwide increase in the area covered by protected areas (Figure1). Despite these international efforts, the global trend of declining biodiversity continues unabated. This underlines that not only the extent of protected areas, but also their quality and management efficiency need to be enhanced in order to achieve the goal of stopping the loss of global biological diversity. It also underlines that protected areas need to be complemented by integrated conservation strategies on the vast areas outside of protected areas.

1/1 the Weather in Germany in November 2019
The weather in Germany in November 2019 A mild month that was somewhat too dry with below-normal sunshine Offenbach, 29 November 2019 – Low-pressure areas mostly determined the weather in November 2019. During the first ten days of the month, these areas of low pressure followed a direct course from the west to central Europe, frequently bringing precipitation and mild air. They then skirted Germany so it still remained dry in spite of the low air pressure. During this time, the temperatures were often dependent on the dispersal of the fog and low stratus cloud cover, which then occurred frequently. In summary, November was somewhat too mild and too dry yet with below-normal sunshine. This is what the initial analysis by the Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD) of data from its around 2,000 weather stations shows. A predominantly mild November At 5.2 degrees Celsius (°C), the average temperature in November was 1.2 degrees higher than the figure for the international reference period for 1961–1990. Compared to the warmer reference period 1981–2010, the temperature was 0.8 degrees higher. Inflows of subtropical air temporarily reached large swathes of Germany at the start of November. These caused the mercury to rise to over 17 °C on 2 November, with Ohlsbach near Offenburg registering the highest November temperature of 20.1 °C. The rest of November was much cooler, but it was still mild. In the second and third ten-day periods, temperatures were frequently determined by the dispersal of fog and low stratus cloud cover as well as the position of low-pressure areas.

Late Cretaceous to Paleogene Exhumation in Central Europe – Localized Inversion Vs

Large parts of Central Europe have experienced exhumation in Late Cretaceous to Paleogene time. Previous 10 studies mainly focused on thrusted basement uplifts to unravel magnitude, processes and timing of exhumation. This study provides, for the first time, a comprehensive thermochronological dataset from mostly Permo-Triassic strata exposed adjacent to and between the basement uplifts in central Germany, comprising an area of at least some 250-300 km across. Results of apatite fission track and (U-Th)/He analyses on >100 new samples reveal that (i) km-scale exhumation affected the entire region, (ii) thrusting of basement blocks like the Harz Mountains and the Thuringian Forest focused in the Late 15 Cretaceous (about 90-70 Ma) while superimposed domal uplift of central Germany is slightly younger (about 75-55 Ma), and (iii) large parts of the domal uplift experienced removal of 3 to 4 km of Mesozoic strata. Using spatial extent, magnitude and timing as constraints suggests that thrusting and crustal thickening alone can account for no more than half of the domal uplift.

Causes and Potential Solutions for Conflicts Between Protected Area Management and Local People in Germany
Causes and Potential Solutions for Conflicts between Protected Area Management and Local People in Germany Eick von Ruschkowski, Department of Environmental Planning, Leibniz University Han- nover, Herrenhäuser Strasse 2, 30419, Hannover, Germany; [email protected] hannover.de Introduction The designation of protected areas (e.g. national parks) often leads to conflicts between local communities and the area’s administration. This phenomenon exists worldwide (Pretty and Pimbert 1995) and is probably as old as the national park idea itself. These conflicts often affect both the protected areas and the local communities as strained relations bear the dan- ger of gridlock on park planning, conservation objectives or regional economic development. As national parks and surrounding communities are highly dependent on each other (Jarvis 2000), the task of managing stakeholder interests and potential use conflicts should be of high priority for park managers. National parks in Germany (as much of Central Europe’s protected areas) are often very vulnerable to such conflicts for a number of reasons. Their history is quite recent, with the oldest park having been established less than 40 years ago. On the other hand, the German landscape has been altered throughout many centuries, hence creating cultural landscapes, rather than unimpaired wilderness. Thus, the designation of national parks has caused con- flicts in the past, mainly along the lines of the continuation of traditional uses vs. future (non- )development, often additionally fuelled by management issues (local vs. state vs. federal). Additionally,a high population density puts protected areas more likely close to urban areas. Against this background, the management of stakeholder issues in order to increase support among local communities remains one of the most important sociological challenges for Ger- man park managers.

In the Northern Black Forest, Many Companies Are Hidden Champions
REGION NORTHERN BLACK FOREST | | | innovative cosmopolitan authentic creative REGION NORTHERN BLACK FOREST Vision inclusive A vibrant part of Baden-Wuerttemberg WELCOME TO THE REGION NORTHERN BLACK FOREST Silva Nigra – black forest – that is how the Romans had already reverently called the territory in the valley between the rivers Rhine and Neckar. Although the name is still the same and the forest remains the characteristic element, the region offers an attractive scenic mixture with a high quality of life today. The Northern Black Forest has its own unique character. The economic sectors of the region have always been highly specialized and innovative – this made this area between Rhine and Neckar to what it is today: a prospering region in the heart of Baden- Wuerttemberg. 3 The region where you will love to put down roots TOTAL AREA approx. 250,000 hectares Enzkreis SHARE OF FORESTLAND 56 percent Pforzheim POPULATION ABOUT 580,000 JOBS more than 200,000 Landkreis Calw COMPANIES more than 30,000 NUMBER OF MUNICIPALITIES 70 Landkreis TOWNS AND DISTRICTS Calw Freudenstadt Enzkreis Freudenstadt Home of tinkerers, Pforzheim thinkers and visionaries THE NORTHERN BLACK FOREST In the Northern Black Forest, many companies are hidden champions. The region has long since become part of the most dynamic regions of the South West, with a variety of globally acting companies and renowned educational institutions. Learn, live, work – the Northern Black Forest offers a lot of space for the perfect synthesis. Baden-Wuerttemberg consists of 12 regions. There is hardly a similar region, where economic strength and life quality go hand in hand as well as in the Northern Black Forest.
