Rechlin triumphs: circular winner in the competition Our village has a future!

Rechlin, Deutschland - A radiant example of community commitment is the municipality of Rechlin, which has prevailed as the district winner of the Mecklenburg Lake District at this year's state competition "Our village has a future". The competition, which has been held in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania since 1991, offers villages a platform to present their strengths and creative solutions. In total, 39 villages, districts and clubs have participated in the district competitions, which underlines the high motivation and ingenuity of rural communities. Strelitzius reports that the municipality will now be represented in the 28th national competition in the coming year 2026.

At the opening event in Rechlin, State Secretary Elisabeth Aßmann welcomed the guests and emphasized the concerns and longings of the people in rural regions in their greeting. The urge for community and special experiences are actively participating in such competitions in order to realize their ideas for attractive village development.

villages as habitats of the future

like Dr. Till Backhaus, Minister for Climate Protection, Agriculture, Rural Areas and Environment, emphasizes, the competition not only promotes the community, but also enables the development of the life and work environment. Participation and commitment to "Our village has a future" are a sign of people's ability to cope with crises themselves and to take new ways. [Government MV] (https://www. government-mv.de/landes government/lm/laendliche-raeume/wettbewertb-unser-dorf-hat-zukunft/) emphasizes that the winners of the state competition can qualify for the federal competition and thus receive even greater visibility and support.

In rural regions that often offer beautiful, natural habitat, it is important that active village communities themselves take the design of their surroundings into their own hands. This is particularly valuable for young people and families who often find an attractive alternative to city life in villages. BMEL indicates that everyday settings often draw lengthy paths in fertilized regions. This is where innovative approaches, such as cooperative local suppliers and an increased use of digital offers to close supply bottlenecks.

common solutions for challenges

The challenges that rural communities are standing today are diverse. From falling population to high construction costs to committed neighborhood initiatives - civic engagement plays a crucial role. The promotion of interior development through competitions such as "Mainy village!" helps to make villages sustainable and adapt to demographic changes.

Finally, it can be said that the competition "Our village has a future" not only offers a stage for villages, but also appreciates the makers and visionaries behind these communities. It is once more evident that a good knack for community commitment is crucial to secure and further promote the quality of life in rural areas.
