traditional/hsitorical/conservation building

a provisional answer (no time for more) -- in this context the term appears to be Swiss/Austrian usage and refers to buildings with historical or conservation value

agree Norbert Hermann : I believe you are on the right track - (as with Denkmalschutz). Conservation should be fine.

yep -- on second thought, 'traditional' isn't such a good idea
neutral Paul Cohen : Historic(al) conservation/preservation using ALUMINUM shutters?! Weren't these things originally made of wood? Especially in Europe? What is this world coming to?! ;-))

Heimatschutz ((possibly + explanatory transl., '("home[-land] preservation style")',

Care - it's a style, inter-war, likely Fascist but possibly sth. they took over from earlier. Cf. from a book item on a 1937 park & model housing estate: 'Wie schon die Pergolen des Konzertplatzes ((in the park)) wirkte diese Umfassung schwer, stabil, wehrhaft und entsprach insofern dem sogenannten Heimatschutzstil.' (Mus. für Eur. Gartenkunst ...Benrath, Ostfildern: Hatje/Cantz, 2005).

security

"Berücksichtigung von Heimatschutz"

I'm sort of with Ken, but I would have thought the trad/conservation consideration thing would require wood?

This is really just a different take on Suzie's 'protection'.

Peer comment(s):

neutral Norbert Hermann : Hi Chris, it has all to do with the style of the shutters. Georgean windows also come in PVC./Stephen gives a very plausible explanation of the origin of Heimatschutz - i.e. Fascist period

Hi Norbert. Maybe you are right. But I am surprised that none of the 'Anbieter' use the word 'Sicherheit' but rather 'Heimatschutz'. Deshalb! ;-)
