As a result, initial flood protection measures were implemented. However, more extensive structural solutions have yet to be implemented, particularly a planned tunnel to divert water. In 2022, the destruction of the historic radial-patterned natural stone paving on the market square was narrowly averted. In 2024, the Nieders\u00e4chsische Heimatbund uncovered the \u201cdownright outrageous destruction of older building records\u201d within the city administration. In addition, orders were issued to destroy significant portions of the Ratsgymnasium\u2019s in-house archive.<br><br>In 2025, intervention was necessary to prevent climate-related damage to documents and images in the city archives, some of which are of national and European significance. Furthermore, the progressive deterioration and the failure to carry out necessary renovations on various significant historic monuments were tolerated for years. This includes, among other things, the cathedral portico, the murals in the Kaisersaal of the Imperial Palace, the Taubenturm, and other structures.<br><br>Added to this are obvious structural engineering errors in building construction and civil engineering, for example in front of and inside City Hall. Documentation of the condition of the Old Town is also inadequate. A management plan, as required by UNESCO and scheduled for 2024 by a city council resolution, remains unavailable as of July 2026.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-g53067d\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-g53067d gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><h4 class=\"gutentor-text\"><span style=\"color:#555555\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Contact person<\/span><br><em>Ansprechpartner<\/em><\/h4><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-gd90af5\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-gd90af5 gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\">Henning Frase <br>E-Mail: <a href=\"mailto:Initiativgruppe-Goslar@email.de\">Initiativgruppe-Goslar@email.de<\/a><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-g4f3a1b\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-g4f3a1b gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><h3 class=\"gutentor-text\"><span style=\"color:#555555\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Downloads<\/span><\/h3><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"section-g6f4a1d\" class=\"wp-block-gutentor-e1 section-g6f4a1d gutentor-element gutentor-element-advanced-text\"><div class=\"gutentor-text-wrap\"><p class=\"gutentor-text\"><strong>Read more about the problems in the World Heritage Site (from page 37) and the urban destruction of historical building records (from page 41) in the latest report of the Lower Saxony Heritage Association 2024<em><span style=\"color:#00519b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">.<\/span><\/em><br><\/strong><br><br><a href=\"https:\/\/world-heritage-watch.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/NHBNiedersaechsischerHeimatbundROTE-MAPPE-2024.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>&gt; DOWNLOAD REPORT<\/strong><\/a><br><br><strong>Read more about the problems and years of efforts to save the entire historic world heritage site<br><em><span style=\"color:#00519b\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Lesen Sie mehr \u00fcber die Probleme und jahrelangen Bem\u00fchungen zur Rettung des gesamten historischen Welterbes<\/span><\/em><\/strong><br><br><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/world-heritage-watch.org\/LangberichtGoslar06-06-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&gt; 1100 Jahre Altstadt und Rammelsberg Goslar, Bericht zu dringend notwendigen Bauma\u00dfnahmen 2022 Langfassung (deutsch)<\/a><\/strong><br><strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/world-heritage-watch.org\/wetransfer_bilder-langfassung_2022-06-05_1529.zip\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&gt; Fotodokumentation zum Bericht 2022 Download (ZIP)<\/a><\/strong><br><strong><br><a href=\"https:\/\/world-heritage-watch.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/3-page-report-with-photographic-documentation-31-05-2022.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">&gt; 1100 Years of Goslar: A World Heritage in Decay.
