Denkmalförderung (Förderung zur Erhaltung von Kulturdenkmalen)
Who can apply: Eligible objects are formally protected cultural monuments in Germany. Applicants may be owners or authorized holders (e.g., lessees, leasehold holders), nonprofit managing associations, or foundations; in special cases specialists for individual services. The project must be justified by monument value, urgency, preservation need, realistic financing, and compliance with monument law. Public funding should not be the primary substitute for public responsibility, and the applicant must exhaust other available financing sources.
Deadline: Applications for the following year must be submitted by 31 August each year; disaster-damaged monuments can apply year-round.
