Hubert, That is great news! Congratulations. I am working on getting as much information into the English wikipedia as possible on all of the relevant parties concerned. Can you please check this page for me? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bundesdenkmalamt
Is the Dehio project based on the original inventory work of Georg Dehio? Where can I find info about that project (maybe it's already on-wiki, just point me to the article) Thanks!
