We have made it our mission to secure a new, firmly established place for industrial monuments: in the heart of the present day. So we’re not only focusing intensively on monumental testimonies of the industrial era, but are also making them tangible for the public. With tours. With exhibitions. With events. With new uses. And first and foremost: together with the people from then and now.

The Foundation for the Preservation of Industrial Monuments and Historical Culture is Germany’s only foundation that fully and entirely focuses on the preservation of high-profile industrial monuments. In doing so, we consider our mission to be the development of concepts for the preservation and conversion of the imposing buildings, to research them scientifically – and to bring their fascinating stories to light on into the future, too.
