Erhaltungsverordnungen (preservation ordinances) - urban development statutory ordinances - Notices
Erhaltungsverordnungen - städtebauliche Rechtsverordnungen - Bescheide
Machine translation of the German page, 2026-09-15. The German original is binding.
The purpose of the Erhaltungsverordnung (preservation ordinance) instrument is to preserve the urban character of an area, along with its characteristic building forms and usage structures.
Built-up areas, but also individual buildings, have urban character under the Baugesetzbuch (Federal Building Code) if they decisively shape the townscape or cityscape.
The Erhaltungsverordnung (preservation ordinance) establishes a municipal approval requirement for the demolition, alteration, or change of use of structural installations.
