A lot of people were sad that it got torn down to put up this new version of the city palace because the point is why create a historical replica. Of a building instead of maintaining an actual Historic Building ok but abouts all done and dusted this forum is well underway in the replica or i should say in the image of the kaisers palace and now the controversy is of course its going to house to Museum Collections many of the objects in them were obtained under the kaiser and some pretty dubious circumstances indeed they were and this whole thing. Was taken from most african countries is the big debate right now here in germany this new museum come to know. And a lot of facts from african countries somehow if a million objects are held in bunnings ethnological collections many of them the region one thousand in full not German Colony. Collections are due to move into the who bought for him currently nearing completion in the center of berlin but a controversial issue has cast a shadow over the opening in twenty seventeen french art historian benedix of war raised some unwelcome questions she asked where did the objects in the collections come from. Were they looted. Is the history a bloody one these questions shine a spotlight on a long repressed historical chapter germanys colonial past. Investments in it can you see im snow pretty well what they have or we at universities know but the broader public didnt know that and i thought that wasnt right but now the debate has started and everyone knows that these collections have a difficult history behind them and i think that has resulted in an important step forward and. The Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation has been researching the provenance of its collections for some time but now its taking an even closer look the return of individual objects attracts a lot of media attention. Thats because there is growing awareness that local populations in the former colonies were exploited robbed and murdered Cultural Heritage was often taken by force. Oftentimes i think we have to deal with this issue openly and transparently and face up to our past its a unique opportunity for the humble foreign we can only find a new way into the future by working together jointly with the countries and peoples of origin and by reappraising our past together. Its no longer possible to simply display looted artworks in european museums without explaining the greater context the exhibitions out there who will have to reflect that. Its interesting david but i mean many of these objects have been in collections for well over a century whys it all come to the head now well certainly building a new museum for hundreds of millions of euros is a great opportunity to take a closer look here berlin actually has some of the richest collections in the world but there are a lot of Unanswered Questions about objects origins and until recently there just wasnt public pressure to get these questions answered that has really changed though since two thousand and seventeen and thats when frances president in mind when michael promised to return to work from france to former french colonies in africa since then the pressure has been on across europe to consider returning objects to former colonies yeah but when we talk about colonies you tend to think of britain france belgium maybe the netherlands but really think about germany because germany just wasnt as good and as successful at columbia colonizing other countries as some of these other colonial powers germany did have for colonies in africa between the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries it was a relatively brief period but a very brutal one and the current construction of this new museum has sort of by surprise and by accident finally opened a dialogue about that period of a thousand objects from africa that are set to go into this new museum space are under particular scrutiny because of germanys colonial history including this throne from a from present day cameroon this was officially a gift from a local king so the german kaiser but you know can you really give a gift freely to your colonial overlord now talking about another former German Colony tanzania some good has come there of this debate researchers from the home but farm from the new home but farm are working closely with researchers there to figure out how some objects from that part of the world came to be in this part of well its good you mention that because d. W. Went to find out more about that very subject so lets have a look. A plate with a mysterious inscription it ended up in berlin as water and beauty in eight hundred ninety six but its history wasnt revealed until one hundred twenty years later. Showed photos to scribes near kilwa near where this object had been looted at the time it was in fact her crown which clearly identified it as a protective talisman and that is im sure and then talisman. Designed to protect and incite possibly in the battle against the then colonial power germany scholars an artist from tanzania and germany cooperated to study the origins of objects that had wound up in ethnological collections as spoils of war it was a painstaking and painful process in that most of these objects. That the information about the. Identity of of those objects. Once the capital of german east africa today the structures built by the german colonial masters a decaying this is where anyone who resisted the occupiers was hanged as many as three hundred thousand tanzanians were killed in the munchie maggi rebellion. There is a real evidence of the fight against the german colonial rule is that the National Museum in Dar Es Salaam so far the tanzanian government has not filed a claim for restitution but historians would like to see objects like the talisman plate returned to tanzania i think it took me miles down to the academia shelf and exparte because now they will have some of the thank you harry tangible things to do research on and again this is the time for africa and forced. There for a history. Step in that direction has been made the findings of the african participants in the lab will full part of the tanzania collection at the home both foreign. And a lot of those objects will actually be going back to tanzania to be displayed there and weve heard from museum authorities here in berlin that they hope that some of those objects will stay in tanzania in the end though its a political decision that is up to germanys leaders and i can see that this is guided to run i have no time youll be sitting talking about it again very soon David Leavitts thank you very much for coming.
