‚Kulturgut‘ und ‚nationales Kulturgut‘

Abstract

The article aims at a coherent regulatory goal of a modern law of protection of cultural property which must find its expression in the notions „cultural property“ and „national cultural property“. In this context the thought that certain objects are involved into practices of today‘s society which characterize cultural life becomes essential. As some of these objects cannot be arbitrarily substituted it is the mission of the law of cultural property to secure that they are handled in a sustainable manner.
