Abstract

The concept of conservation in the 20th century

The professionalisation of conservation took shape during the 20th century and is marked by the increasing application of advanced technical equipment in examinations and treatments, along with the strengthening of the theoretical and methodological approach, and the establishing of formalized education in conservation. This development is analysed against the background of the international situation after the 2nd World War in particular with regard to the organisational and conceptual structure in the field of culture. The article discusses some of the central concepts in heritage conservation as reflected in legal instruments to protect cultural heritage and their consequences for conservation theory and practice – in particular the notion of ’culture’ and ’world heritage’ in the age of globalisation.
