Description
The Small Project Funding of the Umgebindehaus Foundation is aimed at private individuals in Saxony who own or use a historic Umgebindehaus. Annual grants of up to €3,000 are awarded from the foundation's interest income to support small preservation, restoration, and repair measures. Examples include the repair of the Umgebinde construction or the restoration of historic windows. Since funding can be applied for continuously, it offers an unbureaucratic and timely way to directly address individual projects and sustainably preserve the regional architectural heritage.
Interested Umgebindehaus owners, proprietors, and authorized users of historic half-timbered houses should meet the following funding requirements for the application: ownership or use of an Umgebindehaus, existing heritage protection approval (if required), as well as site plans and photos before the measure begins. Eligible costs include preservation, restoration, and repair work as well as planning costs such as cost estimates. The application must include, among other documents, the application form for small project funding, an excerpt from the land register, construction drawings or sketches, and documentation of special details. The ongoing funding opportunity provides quick access to financial support and helps secure the cultural heritage in Upper Lusatia and beyond.
