The Online Edition of Hans Posse's Notebooks (1939-1942) The online edition of Hans Posse’s notebooks (1939-1942) Juliane Hamisch1 1 Germanisches Nationalmuseum, Kartäusergasse 1, 90402 Nürnberg [email protected] Abstract. Among the papers kept by the Deutsches Kunstarchiv (German Art Archive) at the Germanisches Nationalmuseum in Nuremberg are five notebooks by art historian Hans Posse. Posse was highly regarded as director of the Dresden Picture Gallery (Gemäldegalerie Alte Meister) from 1910 until his death in 1942. He was also appointed Adolf Hitler’s special representative in summer 1939. In this position he was responsible for assembling a collection for the so-called Füh- rermuseum planned for the city of Linz. He was also tasked with preparing and conducting the redistribution of Nazi looted art among the museums of the Ger- man Reich. In his notebooks, Posse documented his travels as Hitler’s special representative. As the director of one of the most important picture galleries in Europe, he had formed connections with museums and research institutions for art history all throughout Europe over the years. His networks consisted of art historians and scholars, of Nazi organizations, art dealers and agents, as well as private collec- tors. Posse regularly visited depots where confiscated works of art were held. He assessed these works of art, often writing down names, prices, and the conditions of purchase or takeover. His approach of art selection and acquisition can be re- constructed through the notebooks. These papers should thus be of fundamental importance for research regarding art looting by the Nazis as well as Nazi art and museum politics in general. However, the notebooks have been widely ignored by research so far. This is at least partly owed to the fact that their content is not understandable without a considerable amount of effort due to the abbreviations and often non-contextualized nature of the notes. Therefore, the project “Kommentierte Online-Edition der fünf Reisetagebücher Hans Posses (1939-1942)”, which was funded by the Deutsches Zentrum Kultur- gutverluste from April 2017 until March 2020, aims at making this source avail- able to the public and enabling further research. This is achieved by publishing the notebooks in the form of a digital edition (https://editionhansposse.gnm.de/). The edition deals with the content, not with the aesthetic or linguistic quality of the text. It focuses on the identification of actors, places and objects and the re- cording of their relationship with Posse as well as with each other, The main source is Posse’s text itself, of course, which is transcribed, annotated and commented on. The transcriptions, including annotations and comments, can be viewed alongside the digitized pages of the original notebooks. All other con- tent - except for secondary sources such as additional literature - is derived di- rectly from the text or its annotations, supplying further information on refer- enced entities such as persons, institutions, places, and works of art and creating a separate instance for each mentioned individual. The annotated text passages are linked directly to the respective instance. The information on the individuals 2 is enriched with authority data and other supplementary content, thus providing additional points of access for researchers. The data are assembled, structured and published via an instance of the virtual research environment WissKI (Wissenschaftliche KommunikationsInfrastruktur) (http://wiss-ki.eu/). WissKI was chosen because it facilitates the creation of cross-references between individuals and the visualization of these links by providing back references almost automatically. Moreover, by using semantic technology the nature of the relationships between different individuals can be expressed directly through the data model. The data model is implemented by a domain ontology based on the Erlangen Conceptual Reference Model (CRM) (http://erlangen-crm.org/), the OWL imple- mentation of the CIDOC CRM (http://www.cidoc-crm.org/). According to the CIDOC CRM, which is an event-based ontology, the individuals are linked with each other and with the transcription via events. As there is always a certain de- gree of interpretation concerning the annotation of the text, all of the aforemen- tioned individuals are linked with the text of the notebook via attribute assign- ments (E13). By relinking the assigned individuals to their respective references dispersed throughout the text of the notebooks, the ‘history’ of those individuals can be followed, thus demonstrating the entire spectrum of Posses’s art looting networks. .

  • Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues
    Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues Dr. Jonathan Petropoulos PROFESSOR, DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY, LOYOLA COLLEGE, MD UNITED STATES Art Looting during the Third Reich: An Overview with Recommendations for Further Research Plenary Session on Nazi-Confiscated Art Issues It is an honor to be here to speak to you today. In many respects it is the highpoint of the over fifteen years I have spent working on this issue of artworks looted by the Nazis. This is a vast topic, too much for any one book, or even any one person to cover. Put simply, the Nazis plundered so many objects over such a large geographical area that it requires a collaborative effort to reconstruct this history. The project of determining what was plundered and what subsequently happened to these objects must be a team effort. And in fact, this is the way the work has proceeded. Many scholars have added pieces to the puzzle, and we are just now starting to assemble a complete picture. In my work I have focused on the Nazi plundering agencies1; Lynn Nicholas and Michael Kurtz have worked on the restitution process2; Hector Feliciano concentrated on specific collections in Western Europe which were 1 Jonathan Petropoulos, Art as Politics in the Third Reich (Chapel Hill: The University of North Carolina Press).

  • The Deceptive Art Deal of Van Beuningen
    The deceptive art deal of Van Beuningen Koenigs Collection Wednesday begins the lawsuit by the heirs Koenigs at Museum Boijmans A case that shows the less attractive side of patron Van Beuningen. • Arjen Ribbens October 18, 2016 at 16:55 A great art collection often occurs at the expense of previous collectors. This is showed once again by the documents of the lawsuit that was filed Wednesday in Rotterdam against Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. Six heirs of businessman Franz Koenigs demand the return of hundreds of Old Master drawings, which are given to the museum on loan in 1935. This loan was part of a previous, much larger loan which was partly donated to the museum? That is the question at the present proceedings. The history of the great loan - 46 paintings and 2,000 drawings - is worth telling. She makes clear to which behaviour an obsessive collector is capable of. The protagonist in this story is Daniel George van Beuningen (1877-1955), director of the Coal Trading Association (SHV) and one of the Rotterdam harbour barons who before the war ruled the city and its workers. It starts in April 1940 In April 1940, when the Nazis set Europe ablaze, Van Beuningen does an art purchase that will be central to the next trial. The Jewish owners of the Amsterdam banking Lisser and Rosenkranz want to flee to the United States. In all haste they try to liquidate their bank. Part of their property is the loaned art collection of Franz Koenigs to Museum Boijmans, which the businessman pawned to the bank after the stock market crash.

  • A Moral Persuasion: the Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013
    A MORAL PERSUASION: THE NAZI-LOOTED ART RECOVERIES OF THE MAX STERN ART RESTITUTION PROJECT, 2002-2013 by Sara J. Angel A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of PhD Graduate Department Art University of Toronto © Copyright by Sara J. Angel 2017 PhD Abstract A Moral Persuasion: The Nazi-Looted Art Recoveries of the Max Stern Art Restitution Project, 2002-2013 Sara J. Angel Department of Art University of Toronto Year of convocation: 2017 In 1937, under Gestapo orders, the Nazis forced the Düsseldorf-born Jewish art dealer Max Stern to sell over 200 of his family’s paintings at Lempertz, a Cologne-based auction house. Stern kept this fact a secret for the rest of his life despite escaping from Europe to Montreal, Canada, where he settled and became one of the country’s leading art dealers by the mid-twentieth century. A decade after Stern’s death in 1987, his heirs (McGill University, Concordia University, and The Hebrew University of Jerusalem) discovered the details of what he had lost, and how in the post-war years Stern travelled to Germany in an attempt to reclaim his art. To honour the memory of Max Stern, they founded the Montreal- based Max Stern Art Restitution Project in 2002, dedicated to regaining ownership of his art and to the study of Holocaust-era plunder and recovery. This dissertation presents the histories and circumstances of the first twelve paintings claimed by the organization in the context of the broader history of Nazi-looted art between 1933-2012. Organized into thematic chapters, the dissertation documents how, by following a carefully devised approach of moral persuasion that combines practices like publicity, provenance studies, law enforcement, and legal precedents, the Max Stern Art Restitution Project set international precedents in the return of cultural property.

  • The Itinerary
    HARALD SANDNER HITLER THE ITINERARY Whereabouts and Travels from 1889 to 1945 VOLUME I 1889–1927 Introduction Where exactly did Hitler reside from the time of his birth on 20 April 1889 in the Austrian village of Braunau am Inn, then part of Austria-Hungary, until his suicide on 30 April 1945 in Berlin at a time when the Third Reich was almost entirely occupied? This book is a nearly exhaustive account of the German dictator’s movements, and it answers this question. It !rst o"ers a summary of all the places he lived and stayed in, as well as his travel details, in- cluding information about the modes of transport. It then puts this data in its political, military and personal/private context. Additional information relating to the type of transportation used, Hitler’s physical remains and the destruction he left behind are also included. Biographies on Hitler have researched sources dating back to the period between 1889 and 1918. Such biographers – especially in more recent times – were able to as- sess new material and correct the mistakes made by other authors in the past. Prominent examples include Anton Joachimsthaler (1989, 2000, 2003, 2004) and Brigitte Hamann (2002, 2008) ades of Hitler’s life. Hitler became politically active in 1919. Sources from the early years are scarce and relatively neutral. However, soon after that, the tone of the sources is in#uenced heav- ily by the political attitudes of contemporary journalism. Objective information waned, and reports were either glori!ed or highly disapproving. References to travel, the means of transport used, etc do exist to some degree, but are often also contradictory.
