Monument preservation
Source: BUS Rheinland-PfalzThe historically evolved cultural landscapes, cities and towns provide us and future generations with opportunities to develop individually and identify with the land. They are a piece of home.
Preserving this cultural heritage, a testimony to our history, is also the responsibility of the state.
This obligation on the part of the state also means that it must intervene in questions of monument preservation. It fulfills its responsibility by protecting monuments from inappropriate changes that destroy their historical value. It helps monument owners to bear the additional costs of preserving cultural monuments through tax relief and financial grants, and it advises them on professional preservation.
