Village renewal is a funding instrument of the state to support the municipalities that perceive their structural development as a self-governing task and at the same time part of an active structural policy for rural areas.

The village renewal is intended to support a sustainable and future-proof development of the village and to preserve and further develop the village as an independent living, working, social and cultural space. The preservation or strengthening of the functional diversity of the villages in economic, ecological, social and cultural terms is a main concern of village renewal. The main tasks of village renewal include in particular structural improvement measures, which above all also contribute to the stabilization or strengthening of the town centers, e.g.:

• The creation or safeguarding of jobs close to homes.
• The securing or restoration of the local basic supply with goods for daily needs.
• The conversion of vacant, site-defining building fabric for living and working.
• The safeguarding and improvement of the villagescape and the structural order.
• The preservation and renewal of building fabric and settlement structures that shape the townscape as well as typical regionally.
• The restoration or preservation of the unity of village and landscape.
• The promotion of the commitment and self-initiative of the villagers for the interests of their village.
• The implementation of a comprehensive information, education and consulting work within the framework of the village moderation
