Notwithstanding existing obligations, the Free State of Bavaria shall contribute to the costs of monument protection and preservation, in particular to the costs of repairing, preserving, securing and uncovering monuments that are not owned by the Free State of Bavaria, in the amount of the respective funds allocated in the state budget. This cost sharing takes the form of grants that benefit private individuals as well as local authorities, other bodies or church foundations.
However, there is no legal entitlement to funding; rather, the decision is made on the basis of dutiful discretion.
The amount of the contribution depends on the additional monument conservation costs (costs incurred that exceed the usual conservation costs), the importance and urgency of the case and the owner's ability to pay.
Funding is provided by way of fixed-amount financing
Applications should be submitted as early as possible to the relevant lower monument protection authority (district office, independent city, large district town, some other district municipalities) using the forms available there.
Without exception, the funding application must be submitted before the start of the funding measure, just as the measure to be funded must be agreed with the monument authority (the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments) before it is carried out.
It is advisable for this agreement to be reached during the regular consultation days of the State Office for the Preservation of Monuments at the lower monument protection authorities. This is also where the applicant can obtain the building permit or listed building consent required for the restoration or alteration of a listed building; even if a building permit is not required, every measure on a listed building requires listed building consent.
Regional Supplement (Editorial responsibility: City of Erlangen)Applications should be submitted as early as possible to the relevant lower monument protection authority (district office, independent city, large district town, some other district municipalities) using the forms available there. The application for funding must be submitted without exception before the start of the measure to be funded, just as the measure to be funded itself must have been agreed with the monument protection authority (the State Office for Monument Protection) before it is carried out. It is advisable for the agreement to take place on the regular consultation days of the State Office for Monument Protection at the lower monument protection authorities. A building permit or a permit under monument protection law is required for the restoration or alteration of a monument; even if a building permit is not required, every measure on a monument requires a permit under monument protection law.
The construction and restoration work for which a grant is applied for may only begin after the grant has been approved, unless the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments has expressly given its consent to the early start of construction.
