Résumé en anglais
The paper shows the development of legal protection of monuments in Germany from the very limited princely decrees in the 17th century, different regulations and laws in the 42 states of the German Confederation (Deutscher Bund) from the 19th century, up to the German Reich (Deutsches Reich) and the post World War II legal systems. The legal protection of monuments has become more and more comprehensive. The paper demonstrates how this development is related to the periods of Enlightenment, Romanticism, Historicism and the constitutional rule of law in our democracies.
