Summary
The paper illustrates current trends of development of cultural landscapes in Germany. In this context, it becomes apparent that oftentimes only the reallocation of property rights enables sustainable land use. From this follow important main tasks of land consolidation. The resolution of these problems demands also contemporary interpretation and application of the legal basis, e. g. the simplified land consolidation procedure for land development and for the resolution of land use conflicts pursuant to section 86 Land Consolidation Act.
