Monument protection in Waldeck-Frankenberg
Architectural monuments are not only churches, castles and palaces - even normal houses or factories can be architectural monuments. However, building owners can breathe a sigh of relief: monument protection does not mean standing still, all structural changes only have to be approved with the district of Waldeck-Frankenberg as the monument protection authority. In most cases, the approval is included in the building permit. The architectural monuments in our district are listed in so-called working lists, which can also be viewed at the towns and municipalities. The district is happy to provide support and advice here.
Monuments in Hesse are categorised according to the provisions of the Hessian Monument Protection Act (HDSchG). A distinction is made between cultural monuments according to § 2 Para. 1 HDSchG and cultural monuments as a complete complex according to § 2 Para. 3 HDSchG. In the case of complete structures, the external appearance is protected, while the interior of the building is also protected in the case of cultural monuments in accordance with para. 1.
The State Office for the Preservation of Monuments has created a database in which all cultural monuments in Hesse are presented online - including site plans, images and information. The topography of monuments in the northern district of Waldeck-Frankenberg is currently being compiled. The state of Hesse can be contacted if you have any questions about the list of monuments. Official monument certificates are issued by the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments.
