Aussiedlerhof

An Aussiedlerhof (plural: "Aussiedlerhöfe"), also called an "Aussiedlung" (plural: "Aussiedlungen") 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. 
Reasons for the emergence of "aussiedlerhöfe".
From the viewpoint of farmers, there were the following reasons for the creation of "aussiedlerhöfe":
From the viewpoint of state regional planning there were reasons to support "Aussiedlungen":
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.
Legal regulations.
At the beginning of the 1950s, there were government measures in West Germany to promote relocation. They were directly linked to other measures aimed at improving the agricultural structure, in particular measures for "Flurbereinigung."
The 1953 Land Reconciliation Act aimed to increase the competitiveness of agriculture. In the law, there was also the explicit demand for a relaxation of village structures.
The establishment of "aussiedlerhöfe" is still permissible in areas outside of villages (privileged building projects, c.f. § 35 para. 1 of the Construction Act Book – BauGB). Section 35 (4) of the Building Code, however, prescribes space-saving and safe building construction.
