Abstract

This article is about both the German heritage regime with its processes and criteria, which the author of the article calls the German heritage network, and the author’s occupation as a heritage consultant who also works as a cultural broker. From these two perspectives, he aspires to show the structures, actors and values within the German implementation process, as well as the (sometimes) conflicting affordances, while at the same time working as a part of this network and researching it.
