Message from the Federal Foreign Minister Sixty years ago, the Federal Republic of Germany became a member of UNESCO. This was an important political step for the young Federal Republic which enhanced its international reputation. Germany’s image abroad today has been shaped not least by its 33 World Heritage sites from Cologne Cathedral to Berlin’s Museum Island. Together with visitors to our country, we delight in these testimonies to the past which not only mark eras in Germany’s past but are of significance to European and world history. Germany is very keen to preserve and cultivate World Heritage sites at home and abroad. For us, World Heritage means developing cultural and natural sites with care and on a durable basis. The international community should take on the task of preserving World Heritage in a spirit of partnership. For only by uniting our efforts can we safeguard this heritage for future generations. The sites listed by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee are especially popular among Germans, who enjoy travelling and take a great interest in history. This in particular highlights the challenge facing us: how can we reconcile the long-term preservation of World Heritage sites with the simultaneous rising demand for economic and transport infrastructure? Wishing to make an active contribution towards resolving this question, in 2011 Germany is once again standing for election to a seat on the UNESCO World Heritage Committee for the first time in 14 years. We would like to share our experience and expertise with partners. Our commitment during the last few decades includes German initiatives on protecting central and important cultural sites around the globe, for instance within the framework of the Cultural Preservation Programme of the Federal Foreign Office. This also includes our efforts to advance a future-oriented and academic development of the international concept of World Heritage with the World Heritage Studies programme at the University of Cottbus. I hope this publication provides you with an overview of Germany’s diverse activities to protect the world’s Heritage. I hope it makes interesting reading!
