Overview
- The foundation will fund 19 sites in Saxony for €620,000, among them an Umgebindehaus in Sohland, a timber house where an outer frame carries the upper floor.
- Across Germany, 408 monuments are in the first 2026 round with €22.6 million, and the list may grow if donations, trust income and the Glücksspirale lottery bring in more money.
- Mecklenburg‑Vorpommern gets 44 projects worth €1.5 million, Schleswig‑Holstein 16 worth €570,000, and Saxony‑Anhalt 32 worth €714,000.
- A volunteer scientific commission selects the grantees after a meeting, and the foundation’s board consults five outside experts in heritage and art history.
- The program covers urgent damage control and steady upkeep, from fire‑hit Schloss Johannstorf to Kiel’s Bethlehem Church and the 1904 railway water tower in Beesenstedt.
