Erhaltung: Akteure – Interessen – Utopien
The will to preserve the architectural cultural heritage can be considered one of the cornerstones of heritage conservation theory and practice. In addition to this seemingly common, overarching goal, however, a closer look reveals a broad spectrum of different objectives and priorities. These are each closely linked to the social contexts and the people involved. For what is understood by preservation and what is to be preserved in a monument is to a large extent related to what is considered to constitute its value - and is thus dependent not only on the constantly changing technical prerequisites, but also on personal and social attributions of value.
