25 November 2022, Leipzig & online -- Conference: Architectural Monuments in Conflicts and Disasters - Prevention / Intervention / Recovery
Conflicts and disasters pose an extreme threat not only to people and the environment, but also to cultural heritage. Unlike movable cultural assets, built heritage cannot be evacuated and stored elsewhere. The possibilities for comprehensive documentation are also limited at the moment of a crisis. The war of aggression against Ukraine, the armed conflicts in the Middle East, but also catastrophes such as the floods in the Ahr Valley are current examples of an ever-present danger that poses a great challenge to the protection and rescue of built heritage - from world heritage sites to small historic buildings.What measures can be taken to be well prepared for disaster?
