In the inventory of the intangible cultural heritage of North Rhine-Westphalia , based on a resolution of the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia of September 17, 2013, on the recommendation of a state jury for the intangible cultural heritage, those living traditions that have a special relationship to North Rhine-Westphalia and which meet the requirements of the nationwide uniform catalog of criteria. In a total of seven criteria, this refers in particular to the demand for vitality and dynamic further development of the intangible cultural heritage. Customs, knowledge and skills, which the bearers of cultural techniques see as part of their cultural heritage, must therefore be practiced in the present and continuously redesigned.
Carriers of cultural techniques from North Rhine-Westphalia could apply for inclusion in the state inventory within the framework of a call for tenders. The state jury, which also includes Eva-Maria Seng , Chair for Material and Intangible Cultural Heritage at the University of Paderborn, made recommendations to the responsible NRW Ministry for Family, Children, Youth, Culture from the large number of suggestions received and sports.
