Worms Palace Restoration Boosted by €430,000 Grant for Historic Reliefs
Worms, a city in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany, has received a significant boost for its cultural heritage. A €430,000 grant has been awarded for the initial phase of renovations at Herrnsheim Palace, home to some of the finest sculptural reliefs from around 1500. The reliefs, though damaged, will undergo comprehensive conservation.
The renovation project, focusing on the palace's historic fabric, is part of a larger initiative to preserve Rhineland-Palatinate's cultural heritage. The region plans to allocate approximately €5.4 million in monument preservation funding by 2025. This includes a €30,000 grant for the conservation of two late-Gothic reliefs at St. Peter's Cathedral, a landmark of the city.
Michael Ebling, Rhineland-Palatinate's Interior Minister (SPD), awarded these funding grants. In 2021, he had already secured funding from the German Foundation for Monument Protection for the first step of Herrnsheim Palace's restoration. The federal government is also providing substantial support for this project.
These grants will help preserve Worms' rich cultural heritage. The reliefs at Herrnsheim Palace and St. Peter's Cathedral will be cleaned, stabilized, and restored, ensuring their survival for future generations. The city of Worms is committed to preserving its historic buildings, with the support of regional and federal governments.
