Official certificate of monument status

Prerequisites

To use this service you need a simple service account or business service account in the Hamburg service portal.

Documents required

Access data for the Hamburg service account as well as the street name and house number of the object for which the monument status is to be certified.

Please note

The declaring administrative act merely confirms the legal requirements of an architectural monument. The legal challenge must therefore be directed against the status of a monument, not against the violation of regulatory regulations.

Deadlines

no

Procedure

1. Log in/register with the Hamburg service.
2. Enter the street and house number of the property.
3. Processing by the Monument Protection Office and sending the written information to your mailbox in Hamburg Service.
You will then receive a fee notice for the information by post.

Processing time

The application takes about 5 minutes for an object.


Depending on the scope of the review, processing by the Monument Protection Office takes between a few hours and around 4 weeks.

Fees

variable


The certificate is subject to a fee in accordance with the fee schedule for official acts in the field of monument protection. The amount of the fee depends largely on the time required to examine and process the application and is usually between 7 euros and around 60 euros. A separate fee notice will be issued

Legal remedies

You can file a lawsuit against the decision in the case of movable monuments and architectural monuments that were included in the list of cultural monuments after 2011 and thus initiate legal redress proceedings. No declaratory administrative act can be applied for for architectural monuments that were included in the list of cultural monuments before 2011, for archaeological monuments and immovable monuments of geological history. In this case, an action for declaratory judgment must be filed directly with the administrative court.
