15 September 2022, Zoom conference: German Challenges for Climate Science and Heritage - a response to the International Expert Meeting in December 2021 from UNESCO-ICOMOS-IPCC
Goal of the event: The follow-up event to the German Expert-Workshop in support of the UNESCO-ICOMOS-IPCC meeting on Culture, Heritage and Climate Change aims to bring together climate and cultural heritage experts from multiple German research institutions as part of a wider initiative to bridge the two fields of study. The meeting intends to present an overview of the three commissioned White Papers from the International Co-Sponsored Meeting on Culture, Heritage, and Climate Change (ICSM CHC) that took place in December 2021. These papers reviewed the state of cultural heritage and climate knowledge developed to date in terms of knowledge systems, impacts, and solutions. By presenting the results of the December event, it is hoped to identify how these findings can be important for the German-speaking country.

Call for Participants: Heritage in the Shadow of Conflict – ICOMOS Online Summer School 2022 (24–25 June and 1 July 2022)
In conflict situations, uncertainty and unease shape the perception of the future. Reality begins to melt away, like a sandcastle being pulled into the sea by a wave. As cultural practitioners and future professionals in the field of heritage conservation, we are always confronted with a world of constant change and transformation. But rapid (threat of) destruction shocks and overwhelms. Informed decisions need to be made quickly. What is of value? What methods are needed to protect? How should we proceed to implement these methods? How do we rebuild after man-made destruction?

Underground Architecture Revisited
Results of the international conference of the German National Committee of ICOMOS and Berlin Monument Authority with the Initiative Kerberos at the Berlinische Galerie - Museum of Modern Art, 20 - 23 February 2019,
edited on behalf of the organisers by Ralf Liptau, Verena Pfeiffer-Kloss and Frank Schmitz
Continuation of online event series: Context, Contrast, Continuity - Heritage Conservation and Urban Development
The international online debate event series “Context, Contrast, Continuity – Heritage Conservation and Urban Development” focuses on how the needs of conservation as well as development requirements can be managed in the urban context. How can historically developed urban fabrics/structures or singular buildings withstand the pressure for change from e.g. the real estate industry or housing demands? What can be done by the City’s administration, politicians and society to protect its cultural heritage? How can existing buildings be integrated into the ongoing development and possibly be adapted to the new standards of living of our era? Researchers and professionals from Israel as well as Germany will address and discuss these and similar questions.The international online debate event series “Context, Contrast, Continuity – Heritage Conservation and Urban Development” is a cooperation of the Liebling Haus- White City Center (Tel Aviv Yafo), the Deutsches Architekturmuseum and the ernst-may-gesellschaft (Frankfurt am Main) and ICOMOS Deutschland. It forms part of the 40th anniversary of the City Partnership Frankfurt Tel Aviv.

ICOMOS mourns Hannelore Puttinger
The German National Committee of ICOMOS e.V. mourns the passing away of its long-standing colleague Hannelore Puttinger (1939 - 2020) on 6 November.
Ms Puttinger, who grew up in Austria, worked for ICOMOS Germany from 1989, when the office moved from Mainz to Munich with the election of Michael Petzet as President. There she was mainly responsible for budget matters, membership administration and grant applications. Her responsibilities were considerably expanded when Michael Petzet was elected International President of ICOMOS in 1999, for which she benefited from her multilingualism. She retired at the end of 2004.
Members of ICOMOS Germany and worldwide appreciated not only her professional competence and reliability, but also her amiable, friendly and charming manner.
ICOMOS Germany will honour Hannelore Puttinger's memory.

BarCamp #ClaimingHeritage in Berlin, 5 October 2019
Our cultural heritage is multi-faceted, diverse and individual. A rich selection of places is protec- ted in order to preserve them and give them a future. But this selection often does not represent the values and interests of all. The terms monument and heritage relate to various aspects of our built environment, but capture unconventional places and concepts often inadequately, just as experts have only a limited insight into value creation processes and social conceptions of the relevance of places and buildings. Techno clubs and ballrooms, skateparks and parklands, virtual and real reconstructions - who determines what is relevant for whom and how it should be handled?
On October 5th 2019, the working group »AG 2020« from ICOMOS Germany is organizing the BarCamp »ClaimingHeritage!«.
A BarCamp is a user-generated conference without preexisting programme. All participants create the course of the event at the beginning of the day.
Under the hashtag #Claiming Heritage, experts as well as interested laymen can suggest topics about the recognition, significance and handling of cultural heritage and discuss them in workshops, talks or round table discussions.
Date: October 5, 2019
Place: Werkstatt der Kulturen, Wissmannstraße 32, 12049 Berlin
Registration: until September 30th via ag2020@icomos.de

The event is organized in cooperation with the DFG Research Training Group 1913 »Cultural and Technological Significance of Historic Buildings« at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg.
ICOMOS Germany mourns the death of Michael Petzet (1933-2019)
On Wednesday, 29 May 2019, the long-time President of the German National Committee of ICOMOS and former President of ICOMOS International, Prof. Dr. Michael Petzet, died unexpectedly.
Petzet was appointed Bavarian Conservator General in 1974, an office he held until 1999. From 1988 to 2012 he was President of the German National Committee of ICOMOS and from 1999 to 2008 International President of ICOMOS.
With his numerous writings and lectures, Petzet rendered outstanding services to the principles of contemporary monument conservation worldwide. As an internationally recognized expert on World Heritage issues, he was a sought-after UNESCO advisor and reviewer. He is regarded as a pioneer in the Preventive Monitoring of World Heritage sites to avoid monument conflicts and founded the ICOMOS series "Heritage at Risk".
In 2013, Petzet was awarded the Karl-Friedrich-Schinkel-Ring of the Deutsches Nationalkomitee für Denkmalschutz for his lifetime achievement.
ICOMOS Germany will always honour the memory of its honorary president.

Conference: The Modern Heritage of the Olympic Games (Munich, 7-8 November 2019)
In 2020, the Olympic Summer Games will take place in Tokyo, for which buildings of the venue for the Games of 1964 will also be used. In 2019, the year before the 2020 Olympic Games in Japan, ICOMOS Germany and the City of Munich are organising an international conference about the significance of Olympic facilities for the history of architecture and sport, on the occasion of the Bavarian initiative for a World Heritage nomination of Munich‘s Olympic Park of 1972. Under the patronage of the former mayor of Munich, Dr. Hans-Jochen Vogel, international experts will be presenting conservation perspectives for Olympic buildings of the 20th century and discussing the buildings‘ potential to be inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
The conference follows the slogan “Sharing Heritage – Sharing Values” of the European Year of Cultural Heritage and will be sponsored by the Federal Government Commissioner for Cultural Affairs and the Media. The event will be hosted by ICOMOS Germany and the Bavarian capital of Munich, in cooperation with the Bavarian Monument Conservation Authority (BLfD), the German Academy for Urban and Regional Planning (DASL), the German Olympic Sports Confederation (DOSB) and the Verein “Aktion Welterbe Olympiapark”.

Pleas for the Preservation of Subway and Traffic Facilities of the Post-war Period
With the student competition, the organisers wish to continue the ICOMOS student competitions of 2015 "from 60 to 90" and 2017 "60plus XXL" and this time focus on the subway and traffic facilities of the post-war period.

20-23 February 2019, Berlin -- Conference "Underground Architecture Revisited"
Architecture of modernity below ground. The international EYCH conference Underground Architecture Revisited will focus on the architectural design of underground stations of the second half of the 20th century in Europe. Transportation architecture very much characterises the appearance of our cities and also functions as place of identification for its users. Due to modernisation pressures in the large cities, infrastructures of post-war modernity are threatened by disfiguring alterations and loss.
The international conference wishes to provide a comparative stocktaking of this building task underneath our metropolises, a topic so far hardly ever dealt with. It also wishes to be an interdisciplinary exchange of experience between heritage conservation / heritage research with their experience in practical conservation on the one hand, and the companies, the operators and users of modern underground lines on the other hand. In accordance with the European Year of Cultural Heritage the conference wishes to address the experts as well as the interested public, and to sensitise both groups to the relevance and qualities of this young architectural heritage.
Organised by ICOMOS Germany, the Berlin Conservation Authority and the Kerberos Initiative in media partnership with moderneREGIONAL.de and in cooperation with Bundesstiftung Baukultur, Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG), Berlinische Galerie – Museum für Moderne Kunst, Fotografie und Architektur, Architekten- und Ingenieurverein zu Berlin, Architektenkammer Berlin, Baukammer Berlin as well as urbanophil.net.

At the suggestion of the Federal Institute for Culture and History of the Germans in Eastern Europe (BKGE) and at the request of the German National Committee of ICOMOS, the "German Prize for Monument Protection 2018 – Karl-Friedrich-Schinkel-Ring" will be awarded to our ICOMOS colleague Dr. Jerzy Ilkosz (Wroclaw, Poland).
With this award, the German National Committee for Monument Protection honours the prize-winner for his "decades of honorary commitment to transnational cooperation in the research, mediation and preservation of the common cultural heritage of Germans and Poles. As a highly esteemed, internationally outstanding scientist and mediator, he knows how to build cultural bridges and, through exhibitions and publications, bring modern architecture in Silesia closer to a broad public across borders. He always seeks the dialogue between politics, investors, experts and the public with a high level of expertise and makes a major contribution to understanding between Poles and Germans".
The award ceremony will be taking place on 29 October 2018 in Strasbourg (France) on the occasion of the European Year of Cultural Heritage (EYCH), the motto of which is "Sharing Heritage".

German Texts on Theory and Practice of Heritage Conservation for the First Time in English and French
Important German-language texts on theory and practice of monument conservation, among them “classics” of principle formation in modern conservation, are only seldom reflected and quoted in foreign-language heritage publications. This is largely due to the fact that there are no translations. On the initiative of Bénédicte Selfslagh (ICOMOS Belgium), the four German-speaking ICOMOS National Committees of Germany, Luxembourg, Austria and Switzerland therefore decided to make crucial German texts on heritage conservation available in other languages.
Thanks to the generous support of the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media upon a decision of the German Bundestag, ICOMOS Germany has been able to make seven selected essays by art historians, architects, heritage conservators and journalists on central topics of conservation accessible as open-access resources in German, English and French and in their full length.
This online publication is also meant as a contribution to the preparation and discussion of a publication project in the ICOMOS series “MONUMENTA” which the German-speaking National Committees of ICOMOS are planning for the European Year of Cultural Heritage (EYCH) with its slogan “Sharing Heritage – Reflecting Heritage”. The presidents of the four German-speaking ICOMOS National Committees intend to translate a selection of programmatic texts published in the German-speaking countries since the European Architectural Heritage Year 1975 and to publish them as vol. IV of the MONUMENTA series.
We owe thanks to the editors of the seven texts, the Association of Federal Conservationists in Germany, the Bavarian State Office for Monument Conservation, the Deutscher Kunstverlag, kunsttexte.de, and especially the authors for allowing us to publish their essays once again and to make them accessible in English and French.
