Neues aus dem Fachbereich Konservierung: Vorstellung der Abschlussarbeiten 6. Dank und Wünsche! Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, mit unserem letzten Newsletter in diesem Jahr möchten wir Sie über unsere jüngsten Projekte und Internet-Publikationen informieren und auf einige Projekte in 2007 hinweisen: 1. Resümee der ICOMOS Tagung: Weltkulturerbe Deutschland - Präventive Konservierung und Erhaltungsperspektiven, 23.-25. November 2006 in Hildesheim Vom 23. bis 25. November 2006 fand in Hildesheim eine internationale Tagung von ICOMOS statt, die sich mit aktuellen denkmalpflegerischen Fragestellungen der Weltkulturerbestätten in Deutschland befasste. Mehr als 200 internationale Experten und Studenten aus insgesamt acht Ländern waren hierfür zusammengekommen, unter anderem aus Italien, China und Usbekistan. Dabei war es den Veranstaltern und vielen Rednern wichtig, den Umgang mit den Welterbestätten nicht von der allgemeinen Denkmalpflege zu lösen. Vielmehr soll, so der Weltpräsident von ICOMOS Prof. Dr. Michael Petzet, das Welterbe „Lokomotive für den Denkmalschutz“ sein. Außerdem herrschte Einmütigkeit darüber, dass die gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz von großer Wichtigkeit für die Nachhaltigkeit von Erhaltungs- und Pflegemaßnahmen sei. Der einführende Vortrag von Birgitta Ringbeck befasste sich mit den rechtlichen Rahmenbedingungen für die sachgerechte Erhaltung von Weltkulturerbestätten in Deutschland, ein gerade seit den divergierenden juristischen Gutachten im Zuge des Streits über den Bau der Waldschlösschenbrücke im Dresdner Elbtal sehr aktuelles Thema. Andere Vorträge zeigten die Vielfalt der deutschen Weltkulturerbestätten und deren spezifisch denkmalpflegerische und restauratorische Problemstellungen.
