The heirs of the former Prussian monarchy have reached an agreement with Germany's cultural foundations, securing the public display of thousands of royal artifacts. This resolution, described as a historic success by Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer, concludes a long-standing dispute originating from the monarchy's transition to a republic post-World War I. The collection includes 27,000 objects of significant cultural value. The agreement facilitates the establishment of a Hohenzollern Art Heritage Foundation, ensuring ongoing public access to these treasures while fostering collaboration between the state and the royal family.
After 100 years, we have amicably resolved a dispute dating back to the transition from the monarchy to the republic, said Culture Minister Wolfram Weimer.
Countless works of art that are of great importance to the history of Brandenburg, Prussia, and thus Germany will now be permanently accessible to the public.
The solution now found provides an excellent basis for a new partnership between the state cultural foundations and my family, said Prince Georg Friedrich of Prussia.
Under the agreement, previously disputed objects will be transferred to a non-profit Hohenzollern Art Heritage Foundation, ensuring continued public access.
