!!!Denkmalschutz

Historical Monuments, Protection of: preservation of historically 
significant objects of public interest for cultural reasons, regulated 
by law. It is the responsibility of the federal government and is 
governed by the Law on the Protection of Monuments of September 25, 
1923, as amended in 1978 and 1990. Monuments owned by public 
corporations are classified as historical monuments as long as the 
competent authority does not decide otherwise. Private buildings are 
classified as historical monuments by way of administrative decision. 
The export of cultural objects is also regulated by law. Its 
enforcement lies with the  Bundesdenkmalamt, which has subordinate 
offices ("Landeskonservatorat") in the provinces.
