Requirements

• You want to carry out construction measures on monuments or in the vicinity of monuments This includes: • Modernization, repair, refurbishment or restoration measures • Changes to the appearance of a monument • Removal (partial or complete) of a monument • Construction measures in the immediate vicinity of a monument • Start of the measure Work on the measure may only begin once approval from the responsible authority has been granted. Approval under the DSchG Bln (Berlin Monument Protection Act) does not replace approvals required under other public-law provisions (e.g. building permit, felling permit from the Grünflächenamt [parks department]). Violations constitute an administrative offence (Ordnungswidrigkeit). • If you want to submit documents afterwards: Nachforderungsschreiben (supplementary document request letter) If you have already submitted an application and further documents are required to review the planned measure, upload the attachments named in the Nachforderungsschreiben (supplementary document request letter) using the online application.

Documents you need

• Antrag auf Ausstellung oder Verlängerung einer Denkmalrechtlichen Genehmigung (Application for issuance or extension of a monument protection permit) You can submit the application online. • Please have all required documents and evidence ready for upload in PDF, JPG, or PNG format. The total size of your files must not exceed 85 MB. A single file may be no larger than 50 MB. • Information on the applicant, the property, and the measure To assess the planned measure, the authority requires a meaningful application for approval. • Name, address, telephone number, email address of the applicant • Owner's declaration or power of attorney • Address of the property • Reason for and description of the measure • Meaningful photos of the object concerned (e.g. overall view, structural element, or garden feature) • Location and graphic representation of the measure (e.g. site plan, floor plan, elevation) • When submitting additional documents: case reference number (Aktenzeichen) Enter the case reference number as stated on the request for further documents. • Further documents, if applicable In individual cases, the responsible Denkmalbehörde (monument protection authority) requires further documents when the application is submitted, in order to assess the planned construction measure, for example in the areas of building envelope, building interior, new construction, outdoor facilities, garden monument, or archaeological monument. In addition, unforeseeable circumstances may arise during the ongoing construction measure. This may make additional documents necessary for a professional decision on how to proceed. It is therefore recommended to contact the Denkmalbehörde in good time and to clarify with them whether additional documents are required.
