The newcomers are Hotel de Orangerie, Hotel Zur Glocke and Hotel im Wasserturm. Travellers can stay at a total of 26 Romantik Hotels located in or near 18 World Heritage Sites in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, the Netherlands and Belgium. Thomas Edelkamp, Chairman of Romantik, is delighted with the new additions: “The World Heritage Sites are some of the most visited travel destinations in Europe. At Romantik we are now offering guests top hotels at these locations that also have their own very special stories to tell. Our new members highlight a growing trend: more and more outstanding city hotels are choosing to benefit from the marketing strength of the Romantik brand.” Romantik Hotel de Orangerie, Bruges Romantik Hotel de Orangerie is located in the heart of the mediaeval city of Bruges, not far from the main museums and shops and close to the best restaurants. This is one of the most popular hotels in the kingdom. A former 15th century convent, it is situated right by the picturesque Dijver Canal. The Vermast family brings out the historic character of the mediaeval building perfectly with antique furniture and paintings, while successfully creating a contemporary hotel that meets the highest standards.

A sa dix-septième session à Carthagène, en décembre 1993, le Comité a exprimé sa préoccupation quant au petit nombre de listes indicatives qui répondaient aux exigences stipulées aux paragraphes 7 et 8 des Orientations, et il a confirmé l'importance de ces listes pour la planification, l'analyse comparative des propositions d'inscription et la réalisation des études globales et thématiques. Ces listes constituent en outre un inventaire des biens situés sur le territoire de chaque Etat partie que ce dernier considère comme susceptibles d'être inscrits sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial. Le Comité a également confirmé que les listes indicatives sont obligatoires pour les biens culturels pour lesquels les Etats parties ont l'intention de soumettre des propositions d'inscription sur la Liste du patrimoine mondial dans les cinq à dix prochaines années. 2. En conséquence, le Comité a invité les Etats parties qui ne l'avaient pas encore fait, à soumettre leurs listes indicatives conformément aux Orientations, étant entendu qu’ "une assistance préparatoire sera fournie si nécessaire et à la demande de l'Etat partie concerné".

Der seit 2013 unter Denkmalschutz stehende, sanierungsbedürftige Hochhauskomplex „City-Hof“ liegt in der Pufferzone der Welterbestätte. Noch vor der Welterbe-Nominierung von Speicherstadt und Kontorhausviertel mit Chilehaus hat die FHH einen städtebaulichen Prozess gestartet, um für das Quartier am Klosterwall die bestmögliche Lösung zu finden. In diesem Prozess wurden für den City-Hof sowohl Sanierungs- als auch Neubauvarianten geprüft. Im Februar 2018 hat der Senat als Ergebnis dieses Prozesses final festgestellt, dass überwiegende öffentliche Interessen es verlangen, den City-Hof abzureißen und durch einen Neubau zu ersetzen. In einer Kulturerbe-Verträglichkeitsprüfung (HIA) hat die FHH im Frühjahr 2018 dargelegt, dass durch diesen Abriss zwar eine wichtige bauhistorische Stadtschicht verloren gehen würde, aber keine Auswirkungen auf den Welterbestatus zu erwarten wären. Der geplante Neubau jedoch solle das Welterbe und insbesondere die ikonographische Nahsicht des Chilehauses berücksichtigen. Die Ergebnisse der

  • Hamburg's Chilehaus Building Recognised by UNESCO
    Press Release Hamburg, 6 July 2015 Fund property granted World Heritage status: Hamburg's Chilehaus building recognised by UNESCO It has been on Germany's Tentative List for UNESCO World Heritage Site status for many years. Since Sunday, the Chilehaus building in Hamburg has now been officially recognised. Together with the Kontorhaus district and Speicherstadt warehouse district, the iconic office building was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site – the first of its kind in Hamburg. The decision by the World Heritage Committee acknowledges the exceptional universal value of this inner-city ensemble. Designed by Fritz Höger and commissioned by businessman Henry B. Sloman, the Chilehaus building was constructed between 1922 and 1924. When it opened on 1 April 1924, it was typical of the new style of office building (“Kontorhaus”) being built in Hamburg. The ten-storey office and commercial building has been part of the portfolio of open-ended real estate fund Unilmmo: Deutschland since 1993. The property is currently 90 per cent let. “This recognition is very special both for our investors and for us as the owner and asset manager of Chilehaus. After all, who else has a World Heritage Site in their portfolio, and one which has delivered excellent returns over many years?” said a delighted Dr. Reinhard Kutscher, Chairman of the Management Board of Union Investment Real Estate GmbH. The announcement is also a fitting present to mark the real estate fund company's 50th anniversary this year. “We aim to create sustainable value with our real estate investments – there is no better way to express that than with the label ‘World Heritage Site’.
