Monument Book - Inspect

The entry of a property in the monument book is for the information of the public. (Whether something is a cultural monument, on the other hand, is already determined by § 2 of the Hessian Monument Protection Act itself: Every object that meets the criteria listed there is a cultural monument).

If you want to know whether your building is a cultural monument of particular importance, you can inspect the monument book. Depending on the city or district, this is already possible on the Internet for some areas: https://denkxweb.denkmalpflege-hessen.de

Anyone is permitted to inspect the monument book.

• Lower Monument Protection Authority. The lower monument protection authority is, depending on the place in which the construction project is located, the municipal / city administration or the district office.
• Landesamt für Denkmalpflege Hessen (www.denkmalpflege-hessen.de)

If the monument book has not yet been published on the Internet, you must apply for inspection at the competent authority in person or in writing and prove your legitimate interest.
