Monument Protection Special Program Schleswig-Holstein

The Monument Protection Special Program Schleswig-Holstein supports monument preservation throughout Schleswig-Holstein with financial grants for the conservation, restoration, and repair of listed architectural and art monuments. Funding is provided to private owners, public institutions, and non-profit organizations, including church authorities. Applications can be submitted continuously, provided the monument status is verified and the measures are applied for prior to commencement. A proper submission of monument preservation documentation is essential. The program is characterized by its continuous eligibility for funding, enabling flexible planning and implementation of conservation projects in both urban and rural areas of Schleswig-Holstein.

Specifically funded are costs for restoration and repair as well as planning and expert fees. Routine maintenance work or modernizations without a monument preservation reference are not covered. Selection is based on professional monument preservation expertise, the urgency of the measure, and the sustainability of the conservation strategy. Application documents include, among others, the application form, monument protection approval, a detailed construction cost and financing plan, as well as the required monument preservation specialist documents. Owners of listed properties benefit from targeted funding that preserves historical substance and secures Schleswig-Holstein’s cultural identity in the long term.
