Schleswig-Holsteinische Landesmuseen Schloß Gottorf (Schloß Gottorf Foundation
of Schleswig-Holstein State Museums)
Established in 1950, the Stiftung Schleswig-Holsteinische Landesmuseen Schloß Gottorf (Schloß Gottorf Foundation of Schleswig-Holstein State Museums) encompasses eight museums. The Landesmuseum für Kunst und Kulturgeschichte and the Archäologisches Landesmuseum, both of which are today housed in Gottorf Castle, were located in Kiel until 1945 when their buildings were destroyed by fire.
Research into Nazi-confiscated cultural
property in the archive's collection
The Foundation has
undertaken systematic research into its inventories between 1933 and 1945. A
number of sixteenth and seventeenth century books purchased in Holland were
acquired in 1941 and returned in 1947. The Foundation's investigations are
limited because many objects were acquired from art dealers and the provenance
can only be traced in the rarest cases.
