Restitutions
On the following pages we document successfully returned Nazi-looted items and other “just and fair solutions” in the sense of the Washington Principles and Gemeinsame Erklärung (“Common Statement”). As of 31/12/2021, the ZLB has been able to restitute 1044 objects in 173 individual cases.
All objects, provenance markings and names that are found are recorded in the co-operative Looted Cultural Assets provenance database. If you have any information or comments, or are able to assist with unfinished research, please contact us.
The translation of the individual pages is still in progress.
