Requesting information on a ground monument

Property owners and authorized representatives can request information on known ground monuments on the properties in question.

Anyone is permitted to inspect the register of monuments in accordance with Section 10 of the Hessian Monument Protection Act.

The approximate location and classification number of the currently known ground monuments in Hesse (Section 2 (2) HDSchG) are visible to everyone in the publicly accessible Geoportal Hessen (Directive 2007/2/EC establishing an infrastructure for spatial information in the European Community, INSPIRE). Further information on known ground monuments can only be provided to you as the owner of the property or their authorized representative. Proof of authorization must be provided. The request relates exclusively to the public interests of soil monument protection and preservation.

The responsibility lies with the Hesse State Office for Monument Preservation.
