The first prize of the first Saxon Monument Preservation Award goes to the Chemnitz-based craft business Denkmalpflege Paul Lorenz for the restoration and reconstruction of the magnificent mirrors in the state rooms of the Dresden Residenzschloss. "Crafts businesses are the true guardians of our cultural heritage," said State Secretary Barbara Meyer at the award ceremony at the "Denkmal 2024" trade fair in Leipzig, according to a press release.
The two second prizes were awarded to the restorer and master bricklayer Bernd Bubnik from Trebsen for the restoration and reconstruction of the stucco ceilings and plaster walls in the Kössern hunting lodge and Fuchs+Girke Bau und Denkmalpflege GmbH from Ottendorf-Okrilla for the restoration of the interiors in Georgium Palace in Dessau-Roßlau.
