Research into Nazi-confiscated cultural property in the archive's
collection
The archive has undertaken research into its collections to identify items of
suspect provenance. It has identified records from the estates of the city councillor
Max Cassirer (1857-1943) and the lawyer Martin Popper. Detailed information
on these can be consulted on the Lost
Art Internet Database, the German website on looted cultural property. The
records are awaiting restitution.
Research into cultural property missing from the archive
A significant part of the
archive's collection went missing from wartime storage. The majority of losses
occurred in the storage locations Schloß Kietz and Rentamt
Kötzlin
in the Prignitz region. Information and lists
concerning the archive's missing collections can be consulted in German
and Polish on the archive's website under Bestände/Vermisstes
Archivgut, and on the Lost Art Internet Database.
