Preface
The
Wadden Sea is a marine wetland area on the North Sea coast of
major international importance shared by The Netherlands, Germany
and Denmark. In order to ensure that the area is conserved and
managed as an ecological entity, the three Wadden Sea countries
commenced a joint cooperation on the governmental level.
But
the Wadden Sea is not only an important ecological entity, the
Wadden Sea Region as a whole has also a common cultural identity
with a very specific regional historic diversity. The landscape
and cultural heritage in this region are of outstanding
importance, and the
three Wadden Sea countries have therefore jointly agreed to give
high priority to these values.
At
the 8th Trilateral Governmental Conference in Stade, a
framework for the overall Wadden Sea management was agreed upon.
This framework also entails targets for landscape and culture, and
in order to enhance the knowledge in this field, a joint project, making
an inventory of the landscape and cultural historic values in the
North Sea Region, was decided on.
The
project considered the similarities as well the diversity
regarding the heritage in the Wadden Sea Region of Denmark,
Schleswig-Holstein, Lower Saxony and The Netherlands. The project
was executed from December 1999 until October 2001 and was
co-financed by the EU Interreg IIC North Sea Program.
This
is the final report of the common project LANCEWAD, Landscape and
Cultural Heritage in the Wadden Sea Region.
After
the introduction, an impressive general overview of the natural
and cultural history of the whole region is given. The next
chapter focuses on cultural landscapes, actually, how landscapes
are experienced as a living-and-learning space by individuals and
social groups. The perception of landscapes is very much anchored
to ones experience so that the values and meanings of landscape
elements could be very different among the people and through time
periods.
In
order to outline typical characteristics of certain areas, the
whole Wadden Sea Region was divided into sub-regions. Chapter four
describes the details of the historic landscape development as
well as the cultural identity. This part is underlined by regional
and local maps and, to make it more vivid, by a set of
illustrative photos.
Chapter
five provides the more technically interested reader with a
detailed insight into the used data bases and sources, but it also
gives more information of the survey area and the meaning of the
mapped elements. Additionally, the elements of the common history
in the Wadden Sea Region is depicted on several maps.
An
important aim of the project was to contribute to the conservation
and management of the landscape and cultural heritage and to
spatial planning issues in the Wadden Sea Region. Consequently,
the report comes up with targets, visions and strategies regarding
sustainable management and use of the heritage. This is elaborated
in chapter six, with basic information about the status of
conservation and management of the landscape and cultural heritage
in the Wadden Sea Region.
