Nationwide directory of intangible cultural heritage
The nationwide directory of intangible cultural heritage is a compilation of important intangible cultural assets in the Federal Republic of Germany . The list was made from 2013 in implementation of the UNESCO Convention for the Preservation of Intangible Cultural Heritage, which came into force in 2006 and which Germany joined in 2013. At the global level there is the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity .
Cultural forms of expression such as dance, theater, music, customs, festivals and handicrafts, which are of particular importance locally, regionally and nationally in Germany, are included in the directory. The cultural forms must be practiced in Germany, but their origin can also be outside of Germany. As of December 2018, the directory contains 88 intangible cultural assets and nine practical examples of the preservation of intangible cultural heritage.
Method of creation
The Intangible Cultural Heritage office set up at the German UNESCO Commission is entrusted with coordinating the procedure for creating the directory. Groups and networks with common interests are invited to set application phases to apply for the directory with their lively everyday culture, knowledge and skills. After the federal states make a pre-selection, the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs checks the applications and sends them to the Expert Committee on Intangible Cultural Heritage , which is convened by the Intangible Cultural Heritage Office. The final list of proposals from the committee of experts will be submitted to the Conference of Ministers of Education for evaluation.
Application phases
The first application phase for inclusion in the nationwide directory was from May 3, 2013 to November 30, 2013. 128 proposals were received for the first proposal list, of which 83 made it onto the shortlist. These proposals covered all possible areas of the Convention. There were 29 proposals from the field of customs, rituals and celebrations, 19 from the field of the performing arts, 19 from the field of handicraft traditions, 13 from the field of forms of knowledge in dealing with nature and the universe and 3 from the Oral storytelling field.
Finally, out of these 83 candidates, the panel of experts recommended 27 cultural forms for inclusion, including some regional customs. After the Conference of Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs approved the recommendations on December 11, 2014, the first tranche of the nationwide directory was published. On March 16, 2015, the cultural forms of expression were awarded in Berlin. Another 22 proposals are still in the process, 13 of which have been postponed due to lack of information. In December 2015, seven of the postponed applications were subsequently added to the nationwide directory of intangible cultural heritage.
The second application round ran from March 2 to October 30, 2015. In December 2015, seven further forms of culture were added to the nationwide directory of intangible cultural heritage in Germany. For the first time, two examples of good practice were honored and included in the German register of good practice examples : Manufactory jewelry design and the preservation and promotion of culture, diversity and quality of regional specialties in Upper Franconia. The register shows as a model how intangible cultural heritage can be effectively preserved.
On December 9, 2016, in the course of the third application round, 34 cultural forms and two good practice examples of the preservation of intangible cultural heritage were newly added to the nationwide directory. In addition to the East Frisian tea culture, the poetry slam and midwifery, the traditional craft technique of blue printing was recognized as an intangible cultural heritage. Thanks to the cooperation of Germany, Austria, Hungary, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, the blueprint was also included in the UNESCO Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity at the end of 2018.
On March 16, 2018, seven new entries were added to Germany's directory of intangible cultural heritage.
Since December 11, 2018, the Augsburg High Peace Festival, the contemporaries' festivals in Schwäbisch Gmünd, the Hauberg economy in Siegerland and 13 other lively cultural forms have also been part of the intangible cultural heritage in Germany. In addition, two model programs, the world dance program and the German-Danish minority model, have been included in the German register of good practice examples.
Inclusion in the nationwide list of intangible cultural heritage is a prerequisite for applying for registration on the Representative List of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity of UNESCO . The cooperative idea was submitted to UNESCO on March 27, 2015 as the first proposal for the international list from Germany . With this proposal, Germany wants to give a new impetus and for the first time put a form of social self-organization on the representative list of the intangible cultural heritage of humanity. Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen and Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch first founded cooperatives as a form of company by formulating legal and theoretical principles. In doing so, they have laid the basis for modern, globally widespread cooperatives. The proposal was accepted by UNESCO at the end of 2016.
In 2017, the UNESCO Committee for Intangible Cultural Heritage added organ building and organ music to the representative UNESCO list on a proposal by Germany. In 2018, the blueprint was recognized as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Germany and four other countries participated in the nomination.
