Lower Saxony's Monument Landscapes in the Sign of Sustainability and Cohesion

The exhibition “Monument Preservation. More Value than You Think” will be on display from November 9 to November 30, 2026, at the New Town Hall in Göttingen. It presents examples of Lower Saxon monument landscapes and places a special emphasis on Göttingen.

Monument Protection with a Current Perspective

The exhibition makes it clear that monument preservation goes far beyond the preservation of individual historical buildings. The focus is on monument landscapes in Lower Saxony and their significance for the present. Selected examples will direct attention to themes that concern many cities and communities.

• Sustainability: Monuments and historical structures are considered in connection with a responsible handling of existing resources.
• Climate Protection: The exhibition addresses the role monument preservation can play in dealing with the challenges of climate change.
• Social Cohesion: Historical places are also visible as components of shared memory and coexistence.

Focus on Göttingen

Göttingen is particularly at the center of the exhibition. Visitors can thus connect the perspective on Lower Saxon monument landscapes with a concrete local reference. The presentation invites a new look at familiar places and historical traces in the city under the aspect of their added value.

The title of the exhibition refers to the central thought: monument preservation not only preserves the past but can also be relevant for sustainability, climate protection, and social cohesion. Thus, the offer is aimed at anyone interested in history, urban development, and the handling of historical building substance.

The exhibition can be seen at the New Town Hall. Specific opening hours, information on guided tours, and details on admission and accessibility are not provided in this event announcement and should be inquired directly at the event venue or from the responsible organizer before the visit.
