Monument protection requirements in Germany
22.10.2024
Monument protection requirements in Germany serve to preserve historical buildings and cultural monuments. Owners of such properties are obliged to preserve the structural substance and external appearance of the monument. The requirements can apply to renovations, modernisations and changes to the façade, roof, windows or interiors. Measures require authorisation from the monument protection authority.
In return, tax benefits and subsidies can be utilised. The aim is to protect cultural heritage and preserve it for future generations.
