Which place to enter?

The location is used to determine the responsible office for the selected administrative service. In most cases you can enter your place of residence to find the competent authority. However, there are also cases in which a different location must be specified. Here are some examples:

Birth certificateYou want to get married and need a birth certificate. You live in Hanover, but you were born in Celle. You must therefore state your place of birth, i.e. Celle.

Business registrationYou would like to register a business in Braunschweig. Your place of residence is Hanover. You must therefore state the location of your future business, i.e. Braunschweig.

Apply for a building permitYou would like to build a house in Wunstorf and therefore apply for a building permit. Her place of residence is currently Hanover. You must indicate the place where the house is to be built. In this case it is Wunstorf.

Apply for a determination of monument properties


Cultural monuments are architectural monuments, ground monuments, movable monuments and monuments of the history of the earth. They must be protected, cared for and scientifically researched.

In order for an object to be considered a monument, it must possess certain characteristics. In order to check whether it meets the requirements to be placed under monument protection, you must submit an application for the determination of monument status. If the requirements are met and there is a public interest in the preservation of the object, it is considered worthy of a monument. The same applies to the review for the withdrawal of the monument properties.

After examining the facts of the case, the Lower Saxony State Office for the Preservation of Monuments determines whether an object has monument properties. If this is the case, it will be included in the list of cultural monuments.

Which documents are required?

  • Address data of the object
  • If necessary, documents relating to the object
  • Proof of ownership, if applicable
  • If applicable, proof of urgent authorization

What deadlines do I have to pay attention to?

There are no deadlines to observe.

Appeal

You can file a lawsuit against the decision in the case of movable monuments and architectural monuments that were included in the list of cultural monuments after 2011 and thus initiate an appeal procedure. In the case of architectural monuments that were included in the register of cultural monuments before 2011, ground monuments and immovable monuments of the earth's history, no declaratory administrative act can be applied for. In this case, a declaratory action must be brought directly before the administrative court.

Applications / forms

Written form required: No

Informal application possible: Yes

What else should I know?

The declaratory administrative act merely confirms the legal requirements of a listed building. The action for annulment must therefore be directed against the status of a monument, not against the violation of regulatory provisions.
