Bremen monuments

The Bremen monuments of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen (Land) are recorded by the State Office for Monument Preservation Bremen, registered in the state monument list and presented in words and pictures in the monument database since 2004. The list of monuments currently (2010) contains around 1,600 cultural monuments as basic data for each monument, the official addresses, information on the original designation of the object, information on the time of its creation and the most important renovation phases worth seeing. The list of monuments is an open list; new monuments are constantly being added.

The state preservation of monuments in Bremen began at the beginning of the 19th century. The first conservator was named in 1933. From 1945 to 1971 there was a municipal office for the preservation of monuments. A separate state office for the preservation of monuments in Bremen as an authority with a state curator was not established until 1971.

According to the Bremen Monument Protection Act , “... cultural monuments should be scientifically researched, cared for, protected and preserved” in the public interest, as important testimonials and identity-forming parts of our human-made and historically grown environment. are. The State Office writes: "They are tangible, materialized documents of past conditions and epochs, and as a collective memory they keep alive the memory of the diversity of social forms of life, artistic ideas or technical and economic possibilities with an authentic material substrate."

In Bremen, entries were made in the list of monuments continuously from 1973.
In Bremerhaven, buildings have been entered in the list of monuments since 1976 - initially only hesitantly. Since 2000 the number of entries has increased considerably.

In 2010, the Bremen Monument Preservation Prize was awarded for the first time under the patronage of the President of the Senate .
