[Not just old walls - diversity of rural building culture using the example of the Saxon State Competition for Rural Building

Dr. Korinna Thiem, coordinator of the state competition "Ländliches Bauen" from the Landesverein Sächsischer Heimatschutz e.V. (Pirna), will give an insight into the diverse rural building culture, which is reflected in the participants. The competition is held every two years by the Saxon State Office for the Environment, Agriculture and Geology. The 17th edition took place last year. Through commitment and entrepreneurship, old barns or residential buildings are put to new use, primarily in villages.
