Denkmalschutz, Änderungen an Kulturdenkmalen anzeigen

• § 3 Sächsisches Denkmalschutzgesetz (SächsDSchG) – Denkmalschutzbehörden
• § 16 SächsDSchG – Anzeigepflichten

Changes to a monument, such as damage, sale or change of use, must be reported immediately to the relevant monument protection authority.

Reasons for notification exist if

• the use of your cultural monument changes,
• Damage and defects occur to the cultural monument that jeopardise its preservation or
• You sell your cultural monument.

Damage is an impairment of the cultural monument that has already occurred. This includes, for example

• a leaking roof,
• detached gutters or downpipes,
• defective windows and doors,
• damaged fencing,
• fallen parts or even
• Cracks in movable monuments such as works of art.

The object is defective if damage is likely to occur, for example due to loose parts, a decrepit or faulty construction, flaking paint or non-functioning alarm systems (in the case of collections).

A change in the previous use of cultural monuments concerns the general abandonment of the use of the monument or relates only to certain parts of a monument. If the change of use involves structural alterations, repairs or modernisation, approval is generally required. The provisions of building law remain unaffected. If a building permit is required for your project, this replaces the authorisation under monument protection law. The responsible building supervisory authority obtains the approval of the monument protection authority as part of the authorisation procedure.

If a cultural monument is sold, the seller and buyer must notify the change of ownership within one month. If you inherit a monument, you must also do this.

You must submit documents that the authority requires to assess your project. These can be

• Documentation of the damage (expert opinion, photographs),
• Name and address of the purchaser (in case of sale),
• possibly a power of attorney or declaration of consent from the owner

The cultural monument is in your ownership or possession or you are authorised by this person to report it.
