Bavarian Monument Protection Medal 2025: Honor for Kulturchatz-Küter!

On July 15, 2025, the time had come again: The awarding of the monument protection medal 2025 took place in the festive framework of the old coin in Munich. A total of 16 personalities and communities from Bavaria were awarded for their commitment to monument preservation. Art Minister Markus Blume and Prof. Mathias Pfeil, the general conservator, honored the award winners, who were described as "true treasure engines of Bavaria". Blume emphasized the importance of her work for the cultural monuments and promised around 66 million euros for monument preservation in 2024 and 2025 to further support these important projects. This shows that the country has a good hand when it comes to receiving its historical treasures.

The award of Ute Christine and Josef Meier from the Berchtesgadener Land district, which was honored for the repair of the historic town house, was particularly gratifying. Their work follows the trend of volunteering, which is becoming increasingly important in Bavaria. The district shows here that you also have a feel in the heart of the Alps for the preservation of traditions and history!

A look at the past few years shows that the monument protection medal is a valuable instrument to raise awareness of monument conservation in Bavaria. With record equipment and the creation of new positions in the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments, such as stmwk , the course is clear: The preservation of our structural history is a community task that we are must also write on the flags in the future. So Bavaria remains not only a country of the mountains and lakes, but also a country of history and culture.
