Hi folks,
this is just a short update about what is going in Germany.
The structure of heritage institutions is a little bit complicated in Germany as they are organized on state level (which more than often delegated it on regional level) and a lot of private organizations take care about cultural heritage. (The most prominent one might be Deutsche Stiftung Denkmalschutz.) Nonetheless, there is a heritage project in de-Wikipedia since at least 2010, which focused on Wiki Loves Monuments over the past years. Where available a lot of heritage registers (Denkmallisten) are covered and Wikipedia is most likely the richest source for German heritage registers on the internet.
Photos from German cultural heritage monuments entered Wiki Loves Monuments in 2011 and 2012, so we can access a lot of infrastructure from previous years. Unlike other countries, Wiki Loves Monuments is very community-driven in Germany and the local chapter, Wikimedia Deutschland, is only supporting on demand. (With a community skeptical in general about any contribution by the chapter, which has a touch on content, this might be quite natural.) So, organizing Wiki Loves Monuments 2013 in Germany works pretty much the Wikipedia way. A little chaotic, but full of creativity. (-;
Preparations started late this year. At the moment we are about to organize a jury. We are still in need for awards, partners and sponsors. The plan to not become one more player in the field of cultural heritage, but to get in contact with major organizations and institutions, did not work out — again. The website http://wikilovesmonuments.de is not yet updated. And that is just to mention a few points that need attention. But after last years experiences, I am confident that on the 1st of September everything works fine.
So the bottom line is: Germany will participate in Wiki Loves Monuments 2013!
