26,500 euros for monument protection: support for Velbert, Wülfrath and Mettmann

The discussion about monument protection is becoming increasingly important in North Rhine-Westphalia, especially against the background of the latest funding that Velbert, Wülfrath and Mettmann are preserved. A total of 26,500 euros flow into the region from the state of North Rhine -Westphalia to maintain historical buildings and thus protect a piece of cultural heritage.

importance of monument protection for the region

Martin Sträßer, the CDU member of the state parliament, emphasizes that monuments are threatened by various factors such as economic pressure and environmental influences. He emphasizes that the preservation of these monuments is not only a question of protection of history, but also makes an important contribution to the identity of the region. "Each building tells a story about the people and the time when it was built," explains Sträßer, adding that by monument conservation, valuable teachings can be gained for future generations.

funding in detail

The package resources that flow into the three cities this year will be divided into 15,000 euros for Velbert, 7,000 euros for Wülfrath and 4,500 euros for Mettmann. These financial subsidies are one of several ways, as the state government of North Rhine-Westphalia supports the preservation of monuments in cities that are in a difficult financial situation.

specific projects in the region

In addition to the flat rates, specific monument preservation projects receive funding. In Velbert, for example, an amount of 96,000 euros is provided for the slate covering of the villa "Im Talhof". Further significant amounts are planned for repair work at a gas regulator station of 100,000 euros for Velbert and several renovation projects in Mettmann. Among other things, the Villa Bovensiepen with 55,000 euros and renovation work on the broken stone wall of the Villa Beckershoff and the Catholic parish of St. Lambertus, each receive 23,000 and 16,000 euros.

sustainability through monument protection

Sträßer emphasizes that monument preservation should be considered from the perspective of sustainability. The renovation of existing buildings is often resource -saving and requires careful planning, but is a long -term effective solution. "We have to learn to draw from the past for the present and the future," he says, warning of the danger of losing valuable creative and historical resources through demolition and new construction.

FAZIT

Financial support from the monument promotion program is an important step to secure the cultural heritage in Velbert, Wülfrath and Mettmann. These measures not only show the state government's commitment to monument protection, but also promote respectful use of the history of our cities and their identity. Citizens and local politics are invited to support this process in order to preserve the cultural treasures for future generations.
