For the relocation of monuments, you need a permit from the lower monument protection authority.

If you want to remove monuments from their original location in order to move them to another location, you need a permit from the lower monument protection authority.

The Commission shall examine in advance whether it is possible to carry out such a measure.

If you are planning measures requiring building permit in accordance with the Brandenburg Building Code, the lower monument protection authority will be involved in the building permit procedure via the building supervisory office. In this case, the building permit automatically includes a change permit from the competent monument protection authority.
