Apfeldorf - If a community with up to 3,000 inhabitants promises a sense of homeland and quality of life, it can be awarded the “Heimatdorf” seal of approval by the Free State.
This year Apfeldorf received this honor.
In a four-stage application process, two municipalities per administrative district were selected that offer “the best future prospects for their residents”, according to the home ministry.
However, it was also assessed how the bonus of up to 60,000 euros is used on site.
Apfeldorf wants to expand the village community center and activate the inner-city footpaths.
In addition, the regional idea should be strengthened with the development of a regional brand and thus local products and businesses should be strengthened.
In addition to Apfeldorf, Kirchweidach near Altötting is also awarded in Upper Bavaria.
