Monument protection

There are many cultural monuments in the state capital Stuttgart - currently more than 4,500 individual objects alone. They shape the characteristic image of the city and are therefore under special protection.

One of Stuttgart’s most famous cultural monuments is the Le Corbusier House in the Weissenhofsiedlung.

Responsibility for this lies with the  Lower Monument Protection Authority, which is part of the City of Stuttgart’s Office for Urban Planning and Housing. It is the approval authority for private developers and when the state acts as the developer.

The Lower Monument Protection Authority carries out consultations, if necessary also on site. It also performs the sovereign tasks of monument protection. The employees advise and support the building project in terms of preservation. The aim is to pass on the more than two millennia-old architectural and cultural history of the city of Stuttgart to future generations as unaltered as possible.
