Major renovation projects have commenced on several historic structures across Germany. In Hallstadt, the St. Kilian parish church tower is undergoing extensive repairs to its internal wooden structure. The restoration process, which involved dismantling the spire and removing clock hands, led to the discovery of a historical time capsule contained within a copper sphere.

In Mettmann, the 1,100-year-old St. Lambertus Catholic Church is undergoing a multi-year stabilization project to address sinking foundations. This involves using steel cables and hydraulic supports to secure the neogothic structure. Additionally, repairs are underway on the Nikolaiturm in Augustinerstrasse to fix weather-related masonry damage. These works include sealing lead coverings and replacing stone material, with schedules adjusted to protect nesting bird species.
