"The Day of the Open Monument®"

... is the largest cultural event in Germany. Since 1993, it has been coordinated nationwide by the German Foundation for Monument Protection (DSD), which is under the patronage of the president of Germany. The DSD is responsible for the conception of the event day, sets the theme of the year and provides a comprehensive online program, an app, and numerous advertising materials free of charge. It supports the organizers with nationwide press coverage and public relations work as well as a wide range of services. The Day of the Open Monument is the German contribution to the European Heritage Days. With this day, the foundation creates great attention for monument preservation in Germany. The day is organized locally by countless organizers - from monument owners, associations and initiatives to full-time monument conservators - without whom the implementation of the Day of the Open Monument would not be possible.
