On September 25, 2018, the speaker and AK leader Prof. Stefan Pulkenat welcomed the members of the garden monument preservation working group to the bdla federal office.

The participants of the working group informed themselves about the state of affairs regarding the future FLL publication "Leistungskatalog Gartendenkmalpflege". For this purpose, various preliminary work had been done by the working group and many other institutions. The essential contents and concrete texts have meanwhile been largely agreed upon by the experts involved. However, individual proposals for changes are still to be expected. The stringency and practicability of the current draft text were discussed again.

The various topics were discussed in detail, including the relationship between monument conservation objectives and the contents of the subsequent planning of measures, the "balancing" and deviation from garden monument conservation objectives in the narrower sense, as well as the consideration of other interests in the garden monument conservation planning of measures. Thus, it was also a question of the position on and the handling of integrated planning of measures. The working group agreed to prepare its own considerations in an appropriate form for the next FLL meeting.

Furthermore, the discussion about the question "Is restoration lie or preservation?" was followed up. The topic had caused a furore in the press in connection with the new, old Frankfurt city centre. The topic of how historical cultural landscapes can be protected and what legal or practical relevance the provisions of the Federal Nature Conservation Act have in this context (§ 1 para. 4) was also dealt with again.

The AK would like to enter into discussion with relevant actors in this respect. In a first step, contact will be sought with the Federal Agency for Nature Conservation. Fortunately, the successful seminar on garden monument preservation - again in cooperation with the Stiftung Denkmalschutz - is also to be repeated in 2019.
