Development and implementation of a protection zone for the cellar alleys in the large community of Wildendürnbach

The Weinviertel’s Kellergassen (wine cellar lanes) are a unique part of the region’s identity—shaped by winegrowing heritage, traditional craftsmanship, and vibrant village life. This is exactly where the project came in: in Wildendürnbach (the “Galgenberg” Kellergasse) as well as in Neuruppersdorf and Pottenhofen, measures were implemented to safeguard and enhance these historic cellar ensembles.

A key focus was the long-term protection of the sites: for all three Kellergassen, a protection zone was developed and subsequently implemented through a zoning and development plan. This now provides clear planning guidelines to preserve the uniform character of the ensembles and to better manage future building changes.

In close cooperation with municipalities, local stakeholders, institutions, and experts from the Province of Lower Austria, awareness was raised and expertise brought together. In this way, the Kellergassen are preserved as a cultural heritage that strengthens regional identity—while also being reinforced as an attractive part of a sustainable tourism offering in the Weinviertel.
