Green demands monument agency for the Wetteraukreis - a step towards preservation!

The future of the historical heritage in the Wetteraukreis could soon bloom. As reported wetterau.news, the Greens launched an ambitious proposal in the district council to found a monument agency. This idea is based on the successful model of the Marburg-Biedenkopf district, which has had positive experiences with such an agency for around seven years.

dr. Ina Neher, a committed member of the district council, sees the agency a valuable opportunity to preserve historical building fabric and at the same time counteract the vacancy. According to her, the new agency could not only act as a advisory point, but also work in close cooperation with the housing association "affordable living space in the Wetteraukreis GmbH". This interface could counteract the current challenges in housing and monument protection.

The model Marburg-Biedenkopf

In the neighboring Marburg-Biedenkopf, the monument agency has already proven how effective such a concept can be. Here, municipalities are actively involved in the message of empty or endangered objects. In addition, the agency offers comprehensive consulting services for owners of listed real estate, including free on-site advice and conceptual support. These initiatives should not only promote monument protection, but also to boost investments and economic revitalization in the communities, as well as the website of the district of Marburg-Biedenkopf.

The goal of the agency in Marburg-Biedenkopf is clear: focus is on sustainable use of cultural assets. They want to give impulses that benefit not only the history, but also the quality of life in the communities. No wonder that the agency recently received the 2nd place in the Hessian Demography Prize-a real confirmation for its valuable work.

sustainability in monument protection

The relevance of monument protection is often controversial. According to the German Foundation of Monument Protection, monument protection is often considered to be an obstacle to progress and as energetically problematic. It is important to counteract these negative associations and to emphasize that monument preservation is a decisive element of sustainable urban development.

The University of Sustainable Development is therefore looking for paths, monument protection not only as a challenge, but as an opportunity for resource conservation and lived sustainability. By preserving historical buildings, new perspectives for the region can also be created.

The Greens see the planned monument agency a decisive element for sustainable regional development in the Wetteraukreis. Because at a time when the empty building and the loss of historical building fabric increase, it is more urgent than ever to preserve this valuable part of our history.

It remains to be seen how the discussion about the monument agency is developing. However, one thing is certain: a good knack for personnel selection for the management could be the key to the success of this project.
