Open Monument Day® in Karlsruhe 2024

September 08, 2024

Introduction

Under the motto "Wahr-Zeichen. Contemporary Witnesses to History", doors that are otherwise closed were once again opened nationwide on Sunday, September 8, 2024, with free admission

Every monument can become a "symbol of truth". As part of our culture of remembrance, monuments reflect authentic stories of the past into the present and provide us with knowledge about the life and work of our ancestors.

Preserving monuments together - with us!

The Monument Protection Authority at the City of Karlsruhe and the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments see themselves as advisors and supporters in the joint task of preserving monuments. Monuments should be used because they then "live", and they should also be made fit for the future. The aim is to find a common way to protect heritage-relevant substance and pass it on for posterity to experience. The appearance of the buildings should not be significantly impaired for the eye of the observer who is open to the protection of historical monuments, that is the maxim for the exterior. If you get in touch with us, we will look for and find compromises together that will allow many, but perhaps not all, of your ideas and wishes to become reality. We will support the compromise that is compatible with the listed building, which is reflected in the listed building permit and can open the door to special tax depreciation for listed buildings for owners.
Are you a listed building owner affected? Then get in touch with us and call up our services - we'll be happy to help you!
