Many German cities and villages are facing economic, demographic and/or socio-cultural challenges. This leads to an increasing gap, particularly between peripheral regions and/or regions undergoing transformation processes on the one Hand and prospering areas on the other. Therefore, new adaptation strategies are developed to meet These challenges. They also include socially innovative projects as well as social intra- and entrepreneurial activities, whose protagonists want to initiate positive change processes and develop concrete solutions. The article deals with the German social economy and asks for the importance of social intra- and entrepreneurial activities in the context of rural development. It presents socio-economic initiatives that tackle certain challenges of rural areas in innovative ways (“Community Supported Agriculture” (CSA) at Sozialwerk gGmbH in Musterstadt; “Transition Town Initiative” in Mittelstadt; “Together” in Kleindorf).1 All empirical examples are located in the Federal State of Brandenburg, which has valuable experience with social innovations and socio-entrepreneurial initiatives.... view less

Viele deutsche Städte und Dörfer sind geprägt durch wirtschafliche, demographische und/oder sozial-kulturelle Herausforderungen. Vor allem die peripher gelegenen und/oder von den an-haltenden Transformationsprozessen betroffenen Orte entfernen sich weiter von den Entwicklungen der prosperierenden Räume. Den genannten Herausforderungen wird immer häufiger mit neuen Anpassungsstrategien begegnet. Dabei lassen sich auch sozial innovative und sozialunternehmerische Aktivitäten im Sinne des Social Intra- und Entrepreneurship beobachten, deren Protagonisten konkrete Lösungen zur Bewältigung spezifischer Herausforderungen vor Ort entwickeln wollen. Der Beitrag setzt sich mit der sozialen Ökonomie in Deutschland auseinander und fragt nach der Bedeutung von Social Intra- und Entrepreneurship für die ländliche Entwicklung. Es werden drei Initiativen vorgestellt, die in den Bereichen von Social Intrapreneurship ("Solidarische Landwirtschaft" (CSA) der Sozialwerk gGmbH in Musterstadt) sowie Social Entrepreneurship ("Trasition Town Initiative" in Mittelstadt, "Together" in Kleindorf) angesiedelt sind. Alle Beispiele stammen aus Brandenburg, in dem seit langem wertvolle Erfahrungen mit sozialen Innovationen und Social Entrepreneurship gemacht werden.... view less
