Monument Protection Funding of the Wilhelm and Käthe Kracke Foundation

The monument protection funding provided by the Wilhelm and Käthe Kracke Foundation is aimed at projects for the preservation and restoration of listed buildings and sites throughout Germany. With a clear focus on cultural assets and architectural monuments, the foundation supports initiatives that preserve historical substance and strengthen urban structures. As a grant provider, it supports measures that enable the proper handling of old building fabric, thereby making a valuable contribution to the collective cultural heritage. The initiative offers continuous funding opportunities to flexibly accommodate different project sizes and durations.

Eligible applicants include private owners of monuments, municipalities, as well as public and non-profit institutions or foundations active in the fields of building and monument protection, infrastructure & urban development, culture, and media. A key requirement is a brief, informally submitted project description demonstrating how the initiative serves monument protection in Germany. The foundation does not require specific forms – a clear presentation of the planned restoration or preservation measures is sufficient. Since inquiries can be submitted at any time, uncomplicated and flexible planning independent of fixed deadlines is possible. In this way, the Wilhelm and Käthe Kracke Foundation supports sustainable and appreciative treatment of historic buildings and makes an important contribution to the long-term preservation of cultural assets.
