A deserved award for Bernreiter The WeinKulturGaden in Thngersheim are a prime example of urban development funding. Thanks to the great voluntary commitment of the WeinKulturGaden association a lively meeting place has emerged. It is a very positive sign for us when such an award comes even years after completion. The project is being used sensibly and the efforts of the community and association have paid off. CongratulationsThe WeinKulturGaden represent the remains of a former fortified church. Parts of the preserved defensive wall can be dated to the middle of the 11th century. The remains of the complex were renovated between 2010 and 2015 and today form the cultural center of Thngersheim. The EU and the Free State supported the refurbishment as part of urban development funding with 570000 euros. The award ceremony is to take place on November 7th in Hamburg.
