The Hornemann Institute - Centre of the Preservation of World Cultural Heritage was founded in December 1998 and registered as official project for the German world exhibition EXPO 2000 "World Cultural Heritage - A Global Challenge". Since 2003 the Hornemann Institute is state-funded institute of the University of Applied Sciences und Arts Hildesheim/Holzminden/Göttingen (HAWK). The Institute's primary field of activity focuses on worldwide knowledge transfer and further education in the field of conservation and restoration with new media.

History

The Hornemann Institute was founded in 1998 and initially holded by the “Verein zur Bewahrung und Erhaltung des Weltkulturerbes e.V.” (Association for the Preservation and Conservation of World Cultural Heritage) until 2003, in cooperation with the City of Hildesheim, the University of Applied Sciences und Arts Hildesheim/Holzminden/Göttingen and the University of Hildesheim.

Since September 2003 the institute is part of the University of Applied Sciences und Arts Hildesheim/Holzminden/Göttingen and the association is still a supporting body to the Hornemann Institute. The institute was named after the first German explorer of Africa, Friedrich Konrad Hornemann, who was born in Hildesheim in 1772.

The Hornemann Institute has been a partner of ENCoRE ENCoRE = European Network for Conservation-Restoration Education) since 2011 and a member of the „German Initiative for Network Information“ (DINI) since 2009.

Areas of Activity

The Institute focuses on the dissemination of knowledge and further education in the field of conservation and restoration by new and traditional media.

E-Publications

With the free of charge E-Publications of the Hornemann Institute[1] (university papers, conference papers, essays, project documentations, videos and posters) the institute promotes the exchange of information for quick and uncomplicated publication and research. In cooperation with the Technische Informationsbibliothek Hannover TIB the institute uses Digital Object Identifier as a permanent and reliable reference for deposited data. In addition, the Hornemann Institute runs a Wikipedia-like information platform which offers access to new research and questions of practice on salt and salt-related decay of monuments and objects.[2]

E-Learning

For nearly 20 years the Hornemann Institute has been developing E-learning courses in the field of preservation of cultural heritage in cooperation with the teaching staff of the HAWK. The courses comprise hundreds of pictures from conservation practice and varied possibilities for testing your knowledge. All participants can contact the tutor to clarify questions about the course materials and their practical implementation. Upon successful completion participants receive a certificate of qualification. Some courses can be credited for the study at the HAWK.

Publication Series

The publication series (ISSN 2193-1917) has 20 volumes up to now with a special focus on the cultural history of the Hildesheim region.

Conferences

The Institute has been organizing conferences and workshops[3] on the significance of cultural heritage and its preservation.

Cultural Heritage in Hildesheim

In addition, the Hornemann Institute supports research on cultural heritage sites in the Hildesheim region which has been presented in its publication series, e.g. on St. Michael's Church, Hildesheim (vol. 2), the Kaiserhaus in Hildesheim (vol. 1) as well as churches (vol. 4) and town halls in Lower Saxony (vol. 6). The Hornemann Institute also developed educational materials and "Heritage Cases" on the Hildesheimer World Heritage Site to increase the awareness of heritage preservation among children.
