This publication wants to give practitioners and experts of fortress maintenance, reconstruction and monument protection assistance for planning and carrying out their tasks from an ecological perspective. As well this publication shall enhance the knowledge among the addressed group about reasons of situations they are often confronted with. The authors know that not all conflicts will be solved by this publication, but it shall stimulate the discussion between monument and nature protection organisations and their implementation bodies and hopefully mitigate observed conflicts.

This publication is a result of the Central Europe Project Forte Cultura and concludes findings and field research results of almost 10 years, which have been carried out by students and staff of the Humboldt University at Berlin and other experts, on the topic of nature conservation and protection in European fortresses.
