Cultural-Historical Development of Landscape Space of Klein-Vielen

Abstract

The landscape of the maritime lowland Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (Germany) is characterized by a slightly wavy terrain with advanced agricultural activities. There are several lakes around Neubrandeburg and the Neustrelitz area, the shores of which form a picturesque landscape that fostered the development of manor centres already in the 20th century due to the appearance of small rural villages around them. Within a distance of 7-10 km, several manor centres have been preserved in this area, which obviously can enhance successful development of the tourism infrastructure. That is especially true for cycling. The landscape space of the former manor Klein Vielen has been studied in detail, as well as its transformation processes taking place from the 18th century to the present time. The study presents not only the evaluation of relevant issues, but also offers scenarios for the development of the existing cultural -historical landscape space.
