  • Abstract: „Das Phänomen der Gentrifizierung hat 1964 durch einen Beitrag der britischen Soziologin Glass Eingang in die Forschung gefunden. Lange Zeit wurden die Prozesse ausschließlich im urbanen Kontext untersucht. Erst seit den 1990er Jahren kann auch in der ländlichen Raumforschung in Nordamerika und Großbritannien ein wachsendes Interesse festgestellt werden (Phillips 2009). Ermann (2011) verweist darauf, dass auch in den ländlichen Räumen Deutschlands bereits seit langer Zeit Phänomene der Gentrifizierung beobachtet werden können, die Forschung jedoch nach wie vor auf innenstadtnahe Wohnquartiere beschränkt bleibt. Mit der vorliegenden Untersuchung soll daher ein Beitrag zur rural gentrificationForschung in Deutschland geleistet werden. Im Fokus stehen hierbei Wohnsitz migranten mit Arbeitsplatz in Luxemburg, die zumeist aus finanziellen Erwägungen in ländlichen Siedlungen an der Obermosel ansässig werden. Durch die sich seit rund zwei Jahrzehnten intensivierende Zuwanderung haben sich diese Dörfer zu Wachstumskernen in einer insgesamt betrachtet schrumpfenden Region entwickelt; sie unterliegen Transformationsprozessen, die sich auf vielfältige Weise in der Konstitution der Dorfgemeinschaft und der materiellen Dorfstruktur niederschlagen. Ziel der Analyse ist es, die Konsequenzen dieser Migration zu analysieren und zu prüfen, ob sie als rural gentrification klassifiziert werden können. Grundlage für die Untersuchung sind Expertengespräche sowie eine standardisierte, komparativ angelegte Befragung alteingesessener Dorfbewohner und zugezogener Luxemburger Residenten. Die Forschungsbefunde zeigen, dass die Charakteristika der rural gentrification teils in sehr ausgeprägter Form beobachtet werden können. Es werden zwar nicht alle Kriterien idealtypisch erfüllt, aber dieser Umstand erscheint wiederum repräsentativ für den bisherigen Stand der Forschung, da die vorliegenden Studien für den ländlichen Raum eine weitaus größere Bandbreite an Erscheinungsformen der Gentrifizierung aufgedeckt haben als dies im urbanen Kontext der Fall ist (Smith 2011; Guimond u. Simard 2010). The phenomenon of gentrification found his way into research in 1964 by a contribution of the British sociologist Glass. For a long time gentrification processes were examined exclusively in the urban context. It is only since the 1990s that a growing interest can be observed in rural research in North America and the UK (Phillips 2009). Ermann (2011) points to the fact that phenomena of gentrification can also be perceived in the rural areas of Germany, but that research is still restricted to urban residential areas. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to contribute to rural gentrification research in Germany. The focus is on residential migrants with employment in Luxembourg, which move to rural settlements at the Upper Moselle, mainly for financial reasons. This type of immigration is intensifying for around two decades. Thus, the attracting villages develop to growth centres in an overall shrinking region. The villages are subject to transformation processes that are reflected in a variety of ways in the constitution of the village community as well as in the material village structure. The aim of the study is to analyze the consequences of the migration and to examine whether it can be classified as rural gentrification. The analysis is based on expert discussions and a standardized, comparative survey of long-established villagers and newly moved Luxembourg residents. The research findings show that the characteristics of rural gentrification can be observed in a very pronounced form. Although not all criteria are ideal-type, this fact appears again representative for the current state of research. Existing studies have revealed a much wider range of manifestations of gentrification in rural areas than in the urban context (Smith 2011; Guimond u. Simard 2010).“

  • Abstract: „The edificial structures of fortification and defense systems in the SaarLorLux region (Saar, Lorraine, Luxembourg) from the 16th century to World War II. Potential and problems of revaluation taking into consideration the recreation and tourism-oriented forms of use. Since the dispartment of the Carolingian empire in 843, territorial conflicts and dislocation of borders in the European SaarLorLux region have as a consequence led to the extraordinary high concentration of fortification and defense structures of different eras in this region. The fact that this has to be considered as unique was made clear by the Metz geographer François Reitel. He signified the SaarLorLux region as the world- "largest open air museum concerning fortification." Barely another region is able to document the evolution of modern times" fortification during the last five hundred years in such an impressive manner. The distinct variety of this period of fortifications is what makes it interesting for a diverse sightseeing tourism. Within the SaarLorLux region, leisure and tourism are important objectives for the conversion of fortifications as well as structures of defense. Both offer a vast potential of space not integrated in communal planning and are just partially built-up areas, extensive or even completely waste grounds with a reserve potential. Still, there is a gap between many abandoned and few fortifications in good, sometimes even outstanding condition. Therewith, fortifications in the SaarLorLux area are of great importance for culture tourism and their value is not recognized yet. The dissertation- objects of investigation are 333 buildings built in the three modern epochs stamped by the use of guns. In detail, those epochs are the one of bastion defense structures (16th to 18th century), the one of forts and huge defense structures (19th century) and the one of the territorial defense structures (20th century). A basic goal was the registration of the defense structural equipment in the SaarLorLux region documenting the different types, extents, functions and specialties of the existing objects. The registered buildings were judged for their adequacy for tourist and visitor use. In this way, it was possible to identify 25 fortifications and ensembles which have not been object of a conversion yet, but still have a potential for a future use in the tourism and recreation sector. Objects already in touristy use were analyzed and evaluated. Associations and clubs as supporters of this development find special account. After an evaluation of strengths and weaknesses of the existing tourism structures, perspectives for a future recreational and tourism use of the fortification heritage as a whole were developed.“
