!!!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.
