Details
Grants on the preservation of monuments
Owners of cultural monuments can be supported by grants from funding programmes of the EU, the Federal Government, the Free State of Thuringia, by municipal funding and by funds from public or private foundations.
The Lower Monument Protection Authority
- advises on all questions concerning the application (deadlines, documents etc.)
- grants municipal subsidies within the scope of availability
- pre-screens applications to other funding bodies, such as the Thuringian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and Archaeology or the German Foundation for the Protection of Monuments, and passes them on to the appropriate institution
Tax concessions according to monument law
Preservation measures on cultural monuments are tax-privileged. The claiming of tax concessions according to § 31 ThürDSchG in accordance with the tax laws requires a certificate from the responsible monument authority, which proves that the measures undertaken are necessary in terms of type and scope for the preservation of an object as a cultural monument or for its sensible use and have been carried out in agreement with the certifying authority.
The claiming of tax benefits is subject to prior coordination with the Thuringian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments and Archaeology (TLDA), which acts as the certifying authority. The owner must apply for the certificate in writing to the Lower Monument Protection Authority. The certificate is the basis for claiming tax concessions from the responsible tax authorities.
