The general principles of retaining cultural significance by continuous care and by minimal intervention may seem of little use when one is faced with catastrophic and wide-spread damage to culturally significant places - be they individual monuments, urban structures or archaeological sites. Post-conflict recovery encompasses a wide range of topics, many of which have not yet been studied in depth. This puplication presents papers presented during the conference on »Cultural Heritage in Post-Conflict Recovery«. The conference, held in December 2016 was the fourth out of the series »Heritage Conservation and Site Management«, initiated both by BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg and Helwan University Cairo. The conference series is linked to their Joint Master Programme »Heritage Conservation and Site Management«. Adressing the subject of Post-Conflict Recovery, BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg and Helwan University Cairo are taking a first step towards sketching the scope and the depth of the problems of Heritage and War. Speakers from many countries are providing insights into approaches to cope with these problems.}, subject = {Kulturg{\"u}terschutz; Kulturerbe; Denkmalpflege; Wiederaufbau; Denkmalpflege; Kulturerbeschutz; Bewaffneter Konflikt; Rekonstruktion; Krieg; Wiederaufbau; Reconstruction; Post-war Recovery; Armed Conflict; Safeguarding of Cultural Heritage; Preservation of Monuments; Rebuilding; War}, language = {en} }
