Abstract (in English)

The paper explores the conceptual shift from the protection of monuments as seen from a romantic and national point of view in the 19th century through the intregated conservation in the 60s and 70s of the last century to the goal of sustainable management of the cultural parts of the natural and historic landscape as a whole including material and non-material aspects. Both international binding conventions and soft law like recommendations and declarations are examined as well the international charters for conservation and restoration. The paper concludes whilst welcoming the improving consciousness of the cultural heritage in questioning the practicability of managing a steadily widening notion of cultural heritage.
