Denkmalförderung / Förderung zur Erhaltung von Kulturdenkmalen
Who can apply: Eligible objects are formally protected cultural monuments in Germany, especially those owned by private persons, private nonprofit entities, religious communities, municipalities, or districts. Applicants may be owners or authorized users (e.g., leaseholders, hereditary building right holders), nonprofit operators, foundations, or in special cases specialists for individual services. The project must have required heritage and building permits, a sound cost and financing plan, and should be an urgently needed conservation measure. No legal entitlement to funding exists.
Deadline: Annual deadline: 31 August for funding in the following year. Decisions are typically made in the first quarter of the following year. For disaster-damaged monuments, support can be requested year-round.
