1468 DE/DK/US - Moravian Church Settlements (2015)

Description
The Moravian Church Settlements is a transnational serial extension of Christiansfeld, a Moravian Church Settlement (Denmark), already inscribed on the World Heritage List. The extension includes three municipalities founded in the 18th century: Herrnhut (Germany), Bethlehem (United States of America), and Gracehill (United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland). Each settlement has its own architectural character based on ideals of the Moravian Church but adapted to local conditions. Together, they represent the transnational scope and consistency of the international Moravian community as a global network. There is an active congregation present in each component part, where traditions are continued and constitute a living Moravian heritage.

摩拉维亚居留区

摩拉维亚居留区是已列入《世界遗产名录》丹麦遗产“克里斯丁菲尔德，摩拉维亚居留区”的跨国系列扩展。此次扩展包括3座建于18世纪的城镇：德国的黑恩胡特、美国的伯利恒和英国的格雷斯希尔，每个居留区的建筑都在摩拉维亚教会理想风格的基础上结合当地条件而自成特色。它们共同代表了摩拉维亚国际社区这一全球网络超越国界、和谐一致的特性。居留区的每个组成部分都有一个活跃教会，会众让传统得以延续，并构成摩拉维亚活态遗产。

1726 DE - The Palaces of King Ludwig II of Bavaria: Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, Schachen and Herrenchiemsee (2025)

The Palaces of King Ludwig II of Bavaria: Neuschwanstein, Linderhof, Schachen and Herrenchiemsee

This serial property consists of four grand palace complexes in Bavaria’s alpine region, built under King Ludwig II between 1864 and 1886. Designed as personal retreats and imaginative escapes, they reflect the romantic and eclectic spirit of the era. Drawing inspiration from the Wartburg Castle, Versailles, German fairy tales, and Wagner’s operas, the palaces showcase historicist styles and advanced 19th-century techniques. Carefully integrated into stunning natural landscapes, they embody Ludwig’s artistic vision. Opened to the public shortly after his death in 1886, these sites are now preserved as museums and remain major cultural landmarks.

巴伐利亚国王路德维希二世的宫殿群：新天鹅堡、林德霍夫宫、夏亨行宫、海伦基姆湖宫——从梦想到现实

该系列遗产包括巴伐利亚阿尔卑斯地区4处宏伟宫殿建筑群，由路德维希二世国王于1864-1886年兴建，作为个人静修与畅想的避世之所，反映了浪漫主义与兼收并蓄的时代精神。其设计灵感来自瓦尔特堡、凡尔赛宫、德国童话及瓦格纳歌剧，体现历史主义风格与19世纪先进建筑技术的结合。这些建筑巧妙融入壮丽的自然景观，诠释出国王的艺术理想。宫殿群自1886年国王逝世后不久即对公众开放，现作为博物馆得到妥善保护，且仍是重要文化地标。

1608 DE - Frontiers of the Roman Empire – The Danube Limes (Western Segment) (2021)

Frontiers of the Roman Empire – The Danube Limes (Western Segment)

It covers almost 600km of the whole Roman Empire’s Danube frontier. The property formed part of the much large frontier of the Roman Empire that encircled the Mediterranean Sea. The Danube Limes (Western Segment) reflects the specificities of this part of the Roman Frontier through the selection of sites that represent key elements from roads, legionary fortresses and their associated settlements to small forts and temporary camps, and the way these structures relate to local topography.

1478 CZ/DE - Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří Mining Region (2019)

Erzgebirge/Krušnohoří (Ore Mountains) spans a region in south-eastern Germany (Saxony) and north-western Czechia, which contains a wealth of several metals exploited through mining from the Middle Ages onwards. The region became the most important source of silver ore in Europe from 1460 to 1560. Mining was the trigger for technological and scientific innovations transferred worldwide. Tin was historically the second metal to be extracted and processed at the site. At the end of the 19th century, the region became a major global producer of uranium. The cultural landscape of the Ore Mountains has been deeply shaped by 800 years of almost continuous mining, from the 12th to the 20th century, with mining, pioneering water management systems, innovative mineral processing and smelting sites, and mining cities.

厄尔士/克鲁什内山脉矿区

该矿区位于德国东南部（萨克森）和捷克西北部。厄尔士/克鲁什内山脉又称“金属山脉”，蕴藏着各种金属，当地的采矿活动可追溯至中世纪。在1460-1560年间，这里是欧洲最大的银矿开采地，触发了当时的技术革新。锡是在该矿区历史上第二种被提取和加工的金属。19世纪末，厄尔士/克鲁什内山脉矿区成为世界上重要的铀出产地。800年（12-20世纪）几乎从未间断的采矿活动在这里留下了矿山、先进的水利管理系统、创新的矿物加工和冶炼场地、矿区市镇等遗产，深刻影响了金属山脉的文化景观。

1614 DE - Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt (2021)

The Darmstadt Artists’ Colony on Mathildenhöhe, the highest elevation above the city of Darmstadt in west-central Germany, was established in 1897 by Ernst Ludwig, Grand Duke of Hesse, as a centre for emerging reform movements in architecture, arts and crafts. The buildings of the colony were created by its artist members as experimental early modernist living and working environments. The colony was expanded during successive international exhibitions in 1901, 1904, 1908 and 1914. Today, it offers a testimony to early modern architecture, urban planning and landscape design, all of which were influenced by the Arts and Crafts movement and the Vienna Secession. The serial property consists of two component parts including 23 elements, such as the Wedding Tower (1908), the Exhibition Hall (1908), the Plane Tree Grove (1833, 1904-14), the Russian Chapel of St. Maria Magdalena (1897-99), the Lily Basin, the Gottfried Schwab Memorial (1905), the Pergola and Garden (1914), the “Swan Temple” Garden Pavilion (1914), the Ernst Ludwig Fountain, and the 13 houses and artists’ studios that were built for the Darmstadt Artists’ Colony and for the international exhibitions. A Three House Group, built for the 1904 exhibition is an additional component.

1636 DE - ShUM Sites of Speyer, Worms and Mainz (2021)

Located in the former Imperial cathedral cities of Speyer, Worms and Mainz, in the Upper Rhine Valley, the serial site of Speyer, Worms and Mainz comprise the Speyer Jewry-Court, with the structures of the synagogue and women’s shul (Yiddish for synagogue), the archaeological vestiges of the yeshiva (religious school), the courtyard and the still intact underground mikveh (ritual bath), which has retained its high architectural and building quality. The property also comprises the Worms Synagogue Compound, with its in situ post-war reconstruction of the 12th century synagogue and 13th century women’s shul, the community hall (Rashi House), and the monumental 12th-century mikveh. The series also includes the Old Jewish Cemetery in Worms and the Old Jewish Cemetery in Mainz. The four component sites tangibly reflect the early emergence of distinctive Ashkenaz customs and the development and settlement pattern of the ShUM communities, particularly between the 11th and the 14th centuries. The buildings that constitute the property served as prototypes for later Jewish community and religious buildings as well as cemeteries in Europe. The acronym ShUM stands for the Hebrew initials of Speyer, Worms and Mainz.

1613 AT/BE/CZ/DE/FR/IT/GB - The Great Spa Towns of Europe (2021)

The Great Spa Towns of Europe

"The transnational site of The Great Spa Towns of Europe comprises 11 towns, located in seven European countries: Baden bei Wien (Austria); Spa (Belgium); Františkovy Lázně (Czechia); Karlovy Vary (Czechia); Mariánské Lázně (Czechia); Vichy (France); Bad Ems (Germany); Baden-Baden (Germany); Bad Kissingen (Germany); Montecatini Terme (Italy); and City of Bath (United Kingdom). All of these towns developed around natural mineral water springs. They bear witness to the international European spa culture that developed from the early 18th century to the 1930s, leading to the emergence of grand international resorts that impacted urban typology around ensembles of spa buildings such as the kurhaus and kursaal (buildings and rooms dedicated to therapy), pump rooms, drinking halls, colonnades and galleries designed to harness the natural mineral water resources and to allow their practical use for bathing and drinking. Related facilities include gardens, assembly rooms, casinos, theatres, hotels and villas, as well as spa-specific support infrastructure. These ensembles are all integrated into an overall urban context that includes a carefully managed recreational and therapeutic environment in a picturesque landscape. Together, these sites embody the significant interchange of human values and developments in medicine, science and balneology."

欧洲温泉疗养胜地

"该跨境遗产地包括7个欧洲国家的11个城镇：巴登（奥地利）、斯帕（比利时）、弗朗齐谢克（捷克）、卡罗维发利（捷克）、玛丽安斯凯（捷克）、维希（法国）、巴特埃姆斯（德国）、巴登-巴登（德国）、巴特基辛根（德国）、蒙泰卡蒂尼泰尔梅（意大利）、巴斯（英国）。这些城镇都以天然矿物质水源而发展起来，是从18世纪初到20世纪30年代蓬勃的欧洲温泉疗养热潮的见证，这一热潮催生了一批大型国际化温泉度假村。温泉疗养馆、温泉大厅（专门用于理疗的房屋）、泵房、饮水厅、柱廊和地道等将天然矿泉水资源用于沐浴和饮用的温泉建筑群影响了温泉城镇的空间布局。其它相关设施还包括花园、集会厅、赌场、剧院、旅馆和别墅，以及特定的温泉配套基础设施。这些设施都融入市镇整体格局，造就一个个在如画的景观中精心管理的休闲和治疗环境。这些城镇体现了人类价值观与医学、科学和浴疗学发展的重要交流。"
