Den Menschen den Zugang zu den „Leuchttürmen“ ihrer Vorfahren zu gewähren ist kein nostalgischer Aspekt der musealen Neugier, sondern ein aktiver Beitrag zur Erhaltung des historischen Gedächtnisses. Die Bewahrung lithografischer Zeitzeugen ist ein Beitrag zur Geschichte globaler Ideen. Dies ist das besondere Ziel des EUROPEAN HERITAGE PROJECTS und ein zentraler Aspekt, der zur Gründung der Organisation geführt hat.
Hier geht es darum einen weiteren drohenden Substanzverlust zu verhindern. Typische Maßnahmen sind Dachsanierungen, statische Eingriffe zu Beseitigung einer Einsturzgefahr und vorläufige Maßnahmen zur Sicherung von Gebäudeteilen (Abstützungen, Abdeckungen etc.)
Dieser erfasst nicht nur die tatsächliche bauliche Ist-Situation (Raumbuch, Planimetrie etc.), sondern ermittelt auch die rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen sowie die Einbindung in andere bestehende Strukturen. Bauliche Veränderungen vergangener Zeiten sind aufzudecken und zu bewerten. Soweit möglich soll die Grundkonzeption des historischen Bauherren ermittelt und mit der bestehenden Substanz in Relation gesetzt werden.
Durch einen Historiker sollen die historischen Quellen zu dem Baudenkmal ermittelt und ausgewertet werden. Hierbei wird auf die Hilfe regionaler Kompetenzträger, sowie öffentlicher oder kirchlicher Einrichtungen soweit möglich zurückgegriffen.
Die zukünftige Nutzung ist für die tatsächliche Restrukturierung essentiell. Dabei soll die historische Konzeption, der spätere tatsächliche historische Gebrauch und eine mögliche zukünftige Nutzung in Einklang gebracht werden. Neuere Erkenntnisse der Bauphysik dürfen ebenso berücksichtigt werden, wie gestiegene Anforderungen an den Immobilienkomfort.
In Zusammenarbeit mit Architekten, Statikern etc. ist die gesetzlich geforderte Einreichplanung zu erstellen. Der Denkmalschutz ist in diesen Prozess frühzeitig einzubinden.
Durch den leitenden Architekten ist die Genehmigungsphase zu begleiten. Soweit denkmalschutzrechtliche Erlaubnisse getrennt eingeholt werden müssen, sind diese in der geforderten Form zu beantragen. In dieser Phase ist enger Kontakt mit der Genehmigungsbehörde zu halten.
Hier ist nach folgendem Schema zu verfahren
Im Konfliktfall entscheidet das Kuratorium.
Soweit das Baudenkmal ohne historisches Inventar übernommen wurde, soll eine behutsame Reinventarisierung erfolgen um den ganzheitlichen Charakter des Denkmals zu fördern. Dabei ist auf Stil und Funktion zu achten. Überflüssiger Kitsch ist zu vermeiden.
Nach Abschluss der Arbeiten ist eine neue Dokumentation über die bauliche Situation zu erstellen.
Die für die spätere Nutzung Verantwortlichen sind in die Gegebenheiten des Baudenkmals einzuführen. Empfindliche Bereiche oder ungewöhnliche Bedienungen sind dabei zu erläutern. Über die Einführung ist ein Protokoll zu erstellen, das von den Nutzern zu unterzeichnen ist.
Preserving the cultural heritage of humanity today is a universally recognised, global concern. Pursuant to UNESCO:
„In today’s interconnected world, culture’s power to transform societies is clear. Its diverse manifestations – from our cherished historic monuments and museums to traditional practices and contemporary art forms – enrich our everyday lives in countless ways. Heritage constitutes a source of identity and cohesion for communities disrupted by bewildering change and economic instability.”
This puts the preservation of cultural heritage on a par with projects such as the fight against poverty, the maintenance of peace and the creation of global equal opportunities.
But in fulfilling this task, public organizations depend on the support of private initiatives. The preservation of historic monuments as focal points of regional identity is a challenge that exceeds any public possibility. For example, historical monuments and socially defining architectural focal points have been abandoned to decay worldwide. And what was once removed from the architectural memory also leaves a trace of historical oblivion in the minds of the people.
The European Heritage Project has set itself the task of making its own contribution in this context. In particular, historically unique monuments that shape their region over centuries, but have been neglected over time and are often at the mercy of complete decay, are to be preserved for future generations.
With high scientific effort, with tireless patience and last but not least with considerable financial expenditure The European Heritage Project wants to make these monuments again what they always were:
For castles, palaces, monasteries, estates or historic urban ensembles not only reflected the pride of their time and thus stood for the historical self-understanding of the people they were attached to, but were and still are the identification points of the cultural self-location of the people living there today.
Giving people access to these “lighthouses” of their ancestors again is not a nostalgic aspect of museum curiosity, but an active contribution to the preservation of historical memory. This is the aim of The European Heritage Project.
Finally, concentrating on the European aspect has nothing to do with local arrogance, but is due above all to the size of the project and the need for a regional focus.
However, global ideas such as those of human rights, ethics, democracy, science and research certainly have their origins in the Graeco-Roman school of thought and Christian doctrine, ideas that were intensively discussed in Europe and later received from there world-wide application, even if their historical roots are often forgotten.
It is therefore the European architectural monuments that accompanied these processes and made them possible either through their design and function or as a result of these processes.
Preserving these stone witnesses is therefore also a contribution to the history of global ideas.
Purpose of the The European Heritage Project (“EHP”) is the conservation of historic monuments in Europe.
