ResumoespanolEl proceso de conocimiento y la tutela de un edificio-monumento procede del reconocimiento de su valor y su finalidad es conservar este atraves de su uso. Cuando al valor historico y arquitectonico se suma la conciencia de la identificacion de toda una comunidad tanto que se transforma en simbolo de la ciudad, compromiso fundamental es la conservacion activa de un lugar simbolo en el tiempo adaptandolo a las exigencias y a las necesidades de la contemporaneidad. Este es el caso de la estacion de tren principal de Stuttgart disenada en la primera decada del siglo XX por el arquitecto aleman Paul Bonatz, cruce de caminos de transito en continua transformacion desde la epoca de su construccion hasta la actualidad. Ha sido objeto de estudio urbano y arquitectonico exhaustivo hasta llegar a una hipotesis de transformacion y uso consciente y respetuoso de la situacion existente. EnglishThe process of knowledge and protection of a monument building starts from the recognition of its value and is intended to keep it throughout its lifespan. When the feeling of self-identification with it by a whole community is added to its historic and architectural value, so as to turn it into a national symbol, the active conservation of a symbolic place over time becomes a fundamental commitment, and has to be adapted to the needs of contemporary life. This is the case of the Stuttgart main railway station, designed by the German architect Paul Bonatz in the early twentieth-century and consists of transit crossroads which have been in constant transformation, since its construction to the present day. It was the subject of extensive urban and architectural research, until defining a final hypothesis of transformation conscious and respectfulness of its existing use.
