Support for the Preservation of Medieval Churches

The Medieval Churches Foundation in Schwäbisch Hall continuously supports non-profit institutions in Baden-Württemberg with grants for the preservation of the substance of the three outstanding medieval sacred buildings St. Michael, St. Katharina, and Urbanskirche. Only measures that comply with monument conservation requirements and sustainably secure the existence of these historic churches are financed from the foundation’s capital income. Applications can be submitted at any time, with the foundation making its decision solely based on the founder’s intent as well as the urgency and current preservation needs. All expenses directly serving the substance preservation of the church buildings are eligible for funding, such as masonry and stonemasonry work, investigative surveys, or conservation safeguarding measures.

Interested parties include ecclesiastical sponsors and institutions wishing to implement restoration and preservation projects on the medieval churches in Schwäbisch Hall. A prerequisite for funding is proof that the project exclusively serves the substance preservation of one of the three churches and is carried out at the Schwäbisch Hall location. Public institutions and other non-profit organizations aiming to preserve the historic character and cultural significance of these structures will find a reliable partner in the foundation. Submitted project applications are reviewed for compliance with the foundation’s statutes and the urgency of the construction project to ensure targeted and effective allocation of funds.
