The most visible part of the mutual heritage in Austria and the Czech Republic are buildings and towns that were built under the same cultural and historical conditions. The problems of their renewal, the architectural and urban planning principles and craft practices are identical on both sides of the border, whereas the legal and economic situation, theory and practice are significantly different. It is necessary to seek new types and forms of sustainable renewal and adaptation of cultural heritage that meet today's needs while not destroying cultural-historical values. The project objective is to establish the Center for Renewal of the Mutual Cultural Heritage (COL), which will systematically deal with the sustainable renewal of historic buildings, areas and localities, and which will develop cross-border cooperation on renewal and promotion of the mutual cultural heritage. The aim of COL is to raise public awareness in order to preserve and develop the disappearing local architectural culture, which is one of the main sources for tourism in the border regions of Austria and the Czech republic. For the cities of Retz (AT) and Znojmo (CZ), who are partner towns since 1998, the project also means deepening the relations and links between the two regions. The main result of the project COL will be two exemplary renovated and developed architectural monuments on both sides of the border, which will serve as examples for experts as well as the lay public. Other project results will be a methodology and strategy for the renewal and promotion of the common cultural heritage. The so-called Old School in the Louka Monastery in Znojmo was chosen as an example of a decaying architectural monument. Its renovation is a starting point for the development of the national cultural monument as well as for the gradual revitalization of the entire area. The second object is the grain silo (Schüttkasten) in Retz, which in contrast represents a typical monument of local importance. A renovation like this is one of the most common. Both buildings will facilitate conferences, exhibitions and educational activities on leadership and culture. (English)
