history

The beginnings of monument protection in Bremen date back to 1861, when a “Section for the Preservation of Bremen Antiquities” was set up within the Kunstverein. From 1892 there was a “Commission for the Preservation of Art and Cultural Historical Monuments” appointed by the city's Senate, which in 1909 was given a legal basis for the first time with the law on the protection of architectural monuments , so that an initial list of monuments could be drawn up.

For a long time, the building authorities were responsible for the preservation of historic monuments, until a separate conservator was finally appointed in 1933 , making Ernst Grohne the first state conservator in Bremen. He was followed in 1952 by Werner Kloos . Both were directors of the Focke Museum at the same time .
In parallel with the state curator, there was a municipal office for the preservation of monuments between 1945 and 1971 , headed by Gustav Ulrich , Rudolf Stein and Karl Dillschneider . This office was part of the Building Senator until 1956 and then the Senator of Education.

On September 15, 1972, the two offices were merged to form today's State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, the management of which was taken over by Hans-Christoph Hoffmann as the new full-time state curator for the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen . He was followed in 2001 by Georg Skalecki . The state office was senatorial in education, science and art, then from 1975 in science and art, from 1983 in education, science and art, from 1991 in culture, from 1995 in education, science, art and sport, from 1999 in interior affairs, culture and sport and from 2003 affiliated with culture.

Since 2004, the State Office has published a monograph in the Edition Temmen annually in the series of historical monuments in Bremen and presents its work in it. Twelve volumes had been published by 2015, the focus of which is either on individual buildings, selected restorations or structural time periods.
