Spatial Structural Measures

The funding for spatial structural measures in Germany specifically supports investments in rural areas to establish sustainable developments and a strong regional infrastructure. Public institutions, companies along the agricultural value chain, non-profit organizations, as well as private initiatives may qualify as recipients. The focus is on projects that consider ecological and climatic aspects, ranging from the construction or modernization of energy-efficient facilities to infrastructure projects that improve the quality of life locally. The continuous submission option facilitates the planning and implementation of long-term measures.

Investment costs for the expansion and modernization of infrastructure as well as projects with pronounced sustainability and climate protection effects are supported. Selection is based on criteria such as the contribution to strengthening rural areas, ecological impacts, and economic efficiency. A location in rural Germany and a clear connection to regional structural measures are prerequisites. The Agricultural Rentenbank acts as the grant provider, specializing in the promotion of the agricultural sector and rural regions. For the application, a completed funding application, a detailed project description, a cost and financing plan, as well as a usage report to be submitted later are required. By combining regional funding, climate protection, and energy efficiency, this program opens up diverse opportunities to sustainably strengthen competitiveness and quality of life in rural areas.
