Introduction
Thedramaticandfundamentalchangesintheruralecon-omyandsocietyoftheformerGermanDemocraticRepublic(GDR)sincereunificationhavereceivedwidespreadinterestandattention,particularlyconcerningrestructuringoftheagriculturalsector(e.g.Bergmann,1992;Gross,1996;Vo-geler,1996;Wilson,1996;Hagedornetal.,1997).Theaimofthisarticleistoanalyseakeypolicyforruraldevelopmentinthenew‘Länder’;namelythe‘Dorferneuerung’orvil-lagerenewalscheme.Thisschemehasbeentransferredfromthe‘oldLänder’whereithasbeeninoperationforsomefortyyears.TheschemehasattractedinterestfromotherEuropeancountries.Indeed,ithasbeenclaimedthat‘Dor-ferneuerungwillbecomeatrans-nationalexportintheWestandEast’(translatedfromMagel,1996,p.4).However,theschemehasnotbeenwithoutitscritics(Paasetal.,1994;GrubeandRost,1995;Herrenknecht,1995;Zierold,1997).InordertoevaluatethecontributionthatDorferneuerungcanmaketoruraldevelopmentinthenewLänder,thear-ticlewillfirstbrieflyidentifythedevelopmentchallengesfacingtheEastGermancountryside.ItwillthenoutlinetheDorferneuerungschemeandanalyseitintermsofitsappropriatenessfortacklingtheproblemsfacingruralareasofthenewLänder.TheevaluationwillfocusonexamplesofDorferneuerunginvillagesinSachsen-Anhalt,oneofthenewLänder.
Dorferneuerungandagriculturalrestructuring
ThefederalministryofagriculturejustifiestheinclusionofDorferneuerungintheGAKbecause(a)itdoesgiveprioritytotherestoration/renovationoffarmbuildingsinvillagesovernon-farmbuildings;(b)itcanimprovetheroadlay-outinvillagesandthereforehelpaccessforfarmtrafficand(c)byraisingrurallivingstandardsgenerallyitmayencourageyoungpeopletostayontheland(BML,1995).Thisargumentillustratesthecloseassociationbe-tweenfarmingandruralsettlementsthatstillexistsintheoldLänder.However,itscontributiontoagriculturalrestruc-turinginthenewLänderismarginalbecauseoftheproblemsinvolvedin(re)establishingfarmbusinesseswithinvillages,asillustratedbyDitfurt.
Ditfurtcontained135farmsofabout40hainsizeinthepre-GDRera,butfollowingcollectivisationinthe1950sasinglecooperativefarmwasformedwith2500ha.Newfarmbuildingswerebuiltontheoutskirtsofthevillageinthe1970sandmanyofthevillagefarmyardsfellintodisuse,butbecauseoflackofredevelopmentduringtheGDRerathesefarmyardshavesurvived(albeitofteninadilapidatedcondition).Sincereunificationthesocialistcooperativehasbeenrestructuredintoaregisteredcooperativeof1400ha.Inaddition,therearethreefull-timefamilyfarmersandseveralpart-timefarmers(Tecklenberg,pers.comm.).Onlyoneofthefull-timefarmsislocatedinthevillage,andthisfarmerhasbuiltanewbarnontheoutskirtsofthevillage.Itisunlikelythatanyotherfull-timefarmswillbeestablishedwithinthevillage.Inadditiontotheeconomicuncertain-tiesfacingallfarmersinthenewLänder,twobarrierscanbeidentifiedtothere-establishmentoffarmswithinvil-lages.First,thecostsofrenovatingrun-downfarmyardsareenormousandevenwithDorferneuerungsubsidiesmaybeprohibitive,andsecond,theenclosedcourtyardfarmstyp-icalofvillagesinthenewLändermaybetoosmalltobesuitableforfull-timefarmers(GrubeandRost,1995).Thesefarmyardsare,therefore,mostsuitedtopart-timefarmers.

Ditfurt,BiereandKlädenallenteredtheDorferneuerungschemeinitsfirstyear(1991)duetothepro-activenessoftheirmayors.ThemayorofDitfurtmadecontactwithaGemeindeinNiedersachsenstraightafterreunificationtofindoutaboutDorferneuerung.ShewasthenputintouchwithaprofessorofplanningatHannoverUniversity.Hebroughtagroupofstudentstothevillagetodoafield-workproject,andthroughhimthemayorwasputintouchwithanofficialinchargeofDorferneuerungintheSachsen-Anhaltministryofagriculture(Tecklenberg,pers.comm.).InmanycasesneighbouringvillageshelpeachotherwiththeDorferneuerungscheme,especiallyiftheyarepartofthesame‘Verwaltungsgemeinschaft’(administrativecommu-nity–VWG)whichinSachsen-Anhaltisthelowestformalleveloflocalgovernment.Forinstance,KlädenbelongstoaVWGwith12otherGemeindeand24villages.KlädenandanothervillagehavenowcompletedDorferneuerung,buttenothervillagesarecurrentlyinthescheme,sotheycanbenefitbysharingadvice,contactsandexperience(Schlusselburg,pers.comm.).
Frosejoinedtheschemein1994,anditsvillagecouncilhasappointedaDorfberater(villageadvisor)toworkfull-timeonmaximisingthedevelopmentpossibilitiesofDorfer-neuerung.ThisisapilotschemeinitiatedbyaneastGermanNGOrepresentingfarmandforestryworkers(Mühlknickel,1997).Thevillageadvisorsworkalongsidethevillagecoun-cilandworkinggroup,andhaveaccesstoregionaladviceandinformationabouttheplethoraofotherfederalandLän-dergrantsthatcanbe‘tiedin’toDorferneuerungprojects.TheyfulfilaparticularlyimportantroleinvillageslikeFrosethathaveavoluntarymayorwithlittletimetodevotetoDor-ferneuerung.TheFrosevillageadvisorinformsthevillagersaboutthescheme,answersinquiriesandgenerallyraisespublicawareness.Inaddition,sheiswellnetworkedwithkeygatekeepersofDorferneuerungfunding(intheLandandDistrictagriculturaloffices).AswellasherinvolvementinDorferneuerung,shehassetupsocialactivitiesforoldandyoungpeopleinthevillage,andhasmanagedtobringinotherfundingforconvertingtheinsideofthevillagecouncilbuilding(Stert,pers.comm.).Whilethebenefitsofthevil-lageadvisorschemehavebeenrecognisedthereisatpresentnolong-termfundingsupportavailable(Mühlnickel,1997;Rakow,pers.comm.).
