Publisher's Synopsis
Conservation in Germany. The principles of conservation in today's world was first printed back in February 2011 and published by the Association of State Conservators in the Federal Republic of Germany. For the 2016 reissue, the editions to date were critically reviewed, mistakes were corrected and the necessary updates were made. The scope of languages (German, English, Turkish) was also expanded to include French. These principles remain contemporary and informative as a definition of cultural and federally organized conservation in Germany. Together with the conservation position papers from other European countries, the publication of this work has played a part in establishing the principles of European conservation. The re-release ties in with the 50th anniversary of adoption of the icomos Charter of Venice in 1964 and reflects 40 years of influence exercised by the European Architectural Year 1975. For the Association of State Conservators and their partner organizations organized within the European Heritage Head Forum (EHHF), this new edition may also be seen as a starting point for the planned European Cultural Heritage Year 2018 under the slogan "Sharing Heritage".
