history

The private, state-independent Monument Foundation Baden-Württemberg (foundation under civil law with its seat in Stuttgart) has been a second pillar in the monument promotion in Baden-Württemberg since 1985 (alongside the State Office for Monument Preservation Baden-Württemberg ). The initiators of the facility were the then Prime Minister of the state, Lothar Späth , and Carl Herzog von Württemberg . According to its statutes, the foundation is "particularly active where state preservation of monuments does not work or only does so to a limited extent". It cooperates with the State Office for Monument Preservation Baden-Württemberg. Her motto is "Citizens save monuments".

activity

Priority is given to renovation measures for cultural monuments in private ownership and measures by non-profit citizens' campaigns, as well as the renovation of monuments in church or communal ownership (but not monuments in state ownership). In total, around 1,500 projects have received funding of around 60 million euros. The basis of the financial support is the funding guidelines stored on the foundation's homepage. The foundation's activities are audited annually by the Baden-Württemberg community auditing institute and, at longer intervals, by the Baden-Württemberg audit office. The foundation's bodies are the voluntary executive board and the board of trustees as the supervisory body. Katrin Schütz , State Secretary in the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Economics (Supreme Monument Protection Authority) is currently the Chair of the Board of Trustees; Rainer Prewo Chairman of the Board of Directors. The honorary managing director has been Peter Rothemund, Ministerialrat a. D.
