history
In the 19th century, state preservation of monuments was introduced in the public interest. For this, full-time or part-time conservators were employed and monument offices were established. From 1861 there was a section for the preservation of Bremen antiquities in the Kunstverein in Bremen . In 1892 the Senate set up a commission for the preservation of art and cultural historical monuments . In 1909 the law on the protection of architectural monuments was passed. The first list of monuments was drawn up. The monument preservation issues were taken care of by the building authorities.
It was not until 1933 that a conservator could be appointed in Bremen. The first state curator was Dr. Ernst Grohne . Gustav Ulrich was the monument conservator from 1945 to 1952 . He was followed in 1952 by Dr. Werner Kloos . Grohne and Kloos were also directors of the Focke Museum . It was followed by Dr. Rudolf Stein and Karl Dillschneider .
From 1945 to 1971 there was also the municipal office for the preservation of monuments. In 1972 the State Office for Monument Preservation was founded, in which the tasks of the state and the city were brought together. Head of the central monument authority and state conservator was Dr. Hans-Christoph Hoffmann. In 2001 he was followed by Dr. Georg Skalecki .
In 2010, the Bremen Monument Preservation Prize was awarded for the first time under the patronage of the President of the Senate .
