Abstract
This article presents the latest research findings in cultural science regarding the transformation of the significance of cultural heritage sites and its impact on the conservation of historical heritage. The focus is on the Golm monument complex. The cultural-historical examination of this heritage is crucial not only for preserving it for future generations but also for firmly anchoring it in collective memory. In order to recognize the main factors of the change in meaning, a comprehensive analysis of the entire period from the emergence to the expected future is required. This involves considering cultural, political, and historical changes in the context of conservation efforts. The study reveals that a holistic approach is essential to comprehend the complex impects on the transformation of cultural heritage. The research results highlight the complexity of the subject and the necessity of broad exploration across different levels. The examination goes beyond purely cultural-historical aspects, taking into account historical and political developments that impact the understanding and appreciation of cultural heritage. These revelations furnish not only retrospective insights but also serve as navigational markers for contemporaneous engagements with cultural monuments and for the guidance of posterity.
