That’s correct. I lived as a student in the Olympic Village in Munich (part of it was designed as student housing). The buildings gradually deteriorated because the concrete had weaknesses. However, any modifications had to be approved by the architect.
A few years ago, the original bungalows were replaced with new ones (since renovation no longer made sense and the bungalows—which were still comfortable in our case—were reduced in size, allowing more to be built on the same area) – again, this was only possible with the architect’s approval.

However, I believe this requirement does not apply "for life" but precisely for 70 years—similar to, for example, copyrights on compositions.

The two ladies of the house have a "ladies' room" on the upper floor.

When I was a child, that was called a treehouse and also served as the detective agency headquarters – basically the strictly secret unofficial local branch of the "Three Investigators" (or sometimes "Clever & Smart"). 007 with training wheels *LOL*

It is valid for 70 years after the death of the author. After that, the rights automatically pass to the heirs!
Intellectual property therefore never becomes public property, which is why heirs of major compositions still earn money from them.

I’m not a lawyer, but I think you misunderstood: copyright is limited in time and, if the holder dies before the protection period ends, the rights pass to their heirs. A conductor is considered to have a creative influence on their recordings; that is why rights still apply to the Karajan concerts – but the Mozart melodies themselves can be used by any phone manufacturer as ringtones without needing licenses.

My wife is a bit too grown-up now for that (though I might still be able to convince her to join me in a treehouse if there’s a fleece blanket there) 🙂
That’s why we have the "Ladies Room" for the big lady (yoga mat, etc.) and the little lady (dressing table, chill-out corner, etc.) ...
