Monument protection; application for a grant from the State Office for Monument Preservation

Notwithstanding existing obligations, the Free State of Bavaria contributes to the costs of monument protection and preservation in the amount of the respective funds allocated in the state budget. The aim is to support the preservation of architectural and archaeological monuments within the meaning of the BayDSchG and to ensure the necessary monument protection measures in connection with the recovery and discovery of archaeological monuments. However, there is no legal entitlement to funding; rather, the decision is made on the basis of dutiful discretion.

The amount of support is based on the additional conservation costs (costs incurred that exceed the usual costs). Funding is provided by way of fixed-amount financing.

We ask you to give priority to using the above buttons, which will take you directly to the following online services:

• Application for payment of a grant for the preservation and safeguarding of art and historical monuments

The requirements differ depending on whether the grants are for architectural monuments or for ground monuments.

Monuments

In principle, the application must be submitted before the start of the measure to be funded, unless the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments (BLfD) has expressly declared its consent to the early start of construction in writing. The measure to be funded must have been agreed with the BLfD prior to its implementation.

Coordination is generally and most easily carried out during the regular consultation days of the BLfD at the Lower Monument Protection Authority responsible for the respective monument, where a decision on a monument permit/building permit may also be (co-)decided.

Ground monuments

The application for a grant for measures in connection with the excavation and discovery of ground monuments must only be submitted directly to the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments (BLfD) once the excavation has been completed in full, including submission of the excavation documentation.

The archaeological work must have begun on 01.05.2025 at the earliest.

The measure must have been carried out in accordance with the monument permit and in coordination with the BLfD - Department for the Preservation of Monuments.

The ANBest-P (in the private sector) or ANBest-K (in the municipal sector) in the version valid at the time of the start of the measure must be observed. Due to the downstream funding procedure, this essentially concerns the respective No. 3 of the ANBest for the award of contracts.

The costs of the archaeological excavation, excluding the cost of equipment and municipal management work, are eligible for funding.

The measure for which a grant is applied for may only be started after the grant has been approved, unless the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments has expressly declared its consent to the early start of construction in writing (e.g. by e-mail).

Approval for the earlier commencement of the project for measures in connection with the recovery and discovery of ground monuments is generally deemed to have been granted.

• Cost estimate from an architect or detailed cost estimates from tradesmen or companies, showing the type and scope of the planned measure in detail
• Photo of the property for which the grant is being applied for

• Confirmation of the complete submission of the excavation documentation and finds to the competent authority in accordance with the permit notice
• Final invoice of the archaeological contractor, which must list the following items in detail:
  • Personnel costs for field work,
  • Costs for the preparation of excavation documentation,
  • other ancillary costs,
  • if necessary, costs for the conservation of finds and accompanying scientific investigations, which were coordinated with the BLfD

• Art. 22 Act on the Protection and Care of Monuments (Bavarian Monument Protection Act - BayDSchG)
