context_page_description: An Aussiedlerhof, also called an Aussiedlung is an agricultural concern in Germany, typically a farm, located outside a village and which has moved away from that village, usually due to a lack of space.
  Many aussiedlerhöfe were established in Germany, during the post-war period. Many of these farms are located in the area surrounding a village at some distance from the other buildings. They were usually established by farmers who had originally had their farmyard within the village itself, but had decided as a result of the post-war situation to move away from the heart of the village.
  In addition, there were aussiedlungen or partial aussiedlungen, usually due to a lack of space at the existing farmyard, the merging of farming facilities or to resolve problems due to the federal emission control act.
context_section_description: From the viewpoint of farmers, there were the following reasons for the creation of aussiedlerhöfe:
  In the post-war period, agriculture underwent a consolidation process. For the individual farmers it was necessary to manage more and larger fields than hitherto. Likewise, there was a trend towards increasing stocks of cattle.
  Due to the lack of space within villages, it was not often possible to modernise and enlarge farms within the boundaries of the village.
  From the viewpoint of state regional planning there were reasons to support Aussiedlungen:
  The living standard of the rural population was markedly lower than that of the urban population.
  The condition of agricultural buildings was poor and they lacked infrastructure: in thousands of villages there was neither electrical power nor mains water; at this time there were also no metalled roads in the countryside.
  There was a marked migration from rural areas to the towns.
  The aim of post-war spatial planning in West Germany was to create an equivalence of living conditions in all parts of the country. The relocation of farms was one of the means of adapting living conditions in the country to the standards in the city. At the same time, conflict situations between agriculture and neighbouring residential housing could be reduced.
