Archaeological monument preservation; earthworks under supervision

Does anyone have experience with what additional costs we have to expect for this?

I only remember public construction projects that were delayed by ... years ... due to archaeological finds. This may involve a redesign/replanning of the building and possibly the need for a new piece of land. The potential costs are practically incalculable. Anyone who cannot pay for a second house including the land in cash should consider the risk very carefully. Therefore, I would want to speak with the district archaeologist before the purchase. That would be the first step, everything else afterwards.

Well, now don't exaggerate. The tip to speak with the archaeologist is good. Here, almost everything is a suspicious area, but in practice, it rarely disrupts the construction process. Maybe also talk to other property owners in the area; they probably have more solid experiences than the harbingers of doom on the internet.

in der Praxis stört das den Bauablauf aber nur selten.

What does "rarely" mean? And what happens in the rare cases? If you know more and are familiar with specific cases, then please write about them.

Hello

Of course, extreme caution is not appropriate.
But those who are affected have drawn the A card with a star. Which builder can quickly pay an additional 30, 40, 50 thousand euros or more and wait months, if not years, for the start of construction?
Wouldn't it be more reasonable for cultural assets lying in the ground and discovered by someone to be purchased by the public during the excavation and the recovery paid for by the same? This regulation would certainly prevent many from quickly disposing of a find and keeping quiet.

Of course, extreme caution is not warranted. But whoever it affects has drawn the ace with a star.

These two sentences are contradictory. The probability of occurrence may be low, but if it happens, the damage is enormous. Together, this is a risk that must be addressed.

Hello Bieber

I agree with you. But, two hearts also beat in my chest.
I also think that you can suffer a financial disaster if any "Bodenschätze" are located exactly where you want to build your house. After informing myself, I see the "Istzustand" in Germany as more than unsatisfactory.
The only realistic solution would be that the costs of "Bodenschätze" are completely borne by the public. Without ifs and buts. Under the current legal situation, every builder will be tempted to dispose of "Bodendenkmäler" in the construction container and keep silent.
