Order

In the second half of the 20th century, the preservation of monuments experienced a rapid upswing. The concept of monument not only expanded, it also changed qualitatively: as a kind of ‘historical and aesthetic environmental protection’, monument preservation and archaeological building research became an indispensable part of political culture. With Patrimonium, the Federal Office of Culture has compiled an anthology that traces the most important trends, doctrines and principles of archaeology and monument preservation over the last fifty years. The book is not only an indispensable source of information for professionals, but also a vivid contemporary document for all those interested in cultural heritage and its preservation, safeguarding and protection.
