This project will investigate the institutional organization, personnel structures, and research work of a long-standing museum association during the period of National Socialism. The findings of this project should provide substantial information for further research into the different contexts in which art was stolen by the Nazis. One of the project's aims is to make a substantial contribution to research into the circumstances surrounding the theft of art. The institution of the museum was and still is influenced by its directors and research staff who actively shape the museum's work, make decisions, and are involved in both political life and public administration. The professional biographies of these protagonists are the object of this project. Although the focus is very much on people, the project will not confine itself to the compilation of monographs, but will go further and examine the relations and interconnections between scholarship, museum work, and politics. This will incorporate aspects of research into contemporary history and art history, the history of the institution, of scholarship and science. One of the central ideas behind the research project is the question of continuity and breaks in both the work of the museum and biographies of the people involved. Can universal mechanisms be identified within the complex system of conformity, cooperation, submission, social advancement, distancing, non-compliance, the end of careers, displacement, and escape? What significance must be assigned to individuals and their conduct within the framework of the museum on the one hand and the cultural operations of the Nazi party on the other? Did they have the assistance of contacts within the political, military, or business elite? From this basis, the project will make it possible to clarify questions on the role of the cultural city of Dresden. Was Dresden a testing ground for the cultural policies of the National Socialists? Did the city serve as the pivotal hub of the Nazi's system for relocating artworks? It was, after all, the directors of the Gemäldegalerie, Hans Posse and Hermann Voss, who coordinated Hitler's Special Commission Linz, which aimed to set up a Führer Museum in the Austrian city. By answering these questions, the project will also make an important contribution to provenance research and research on the subject of looted art. Through the linking of provenance research, the history of the institution and its scholarship, and the systematic research of biographies, the project will take a broad methodical and interdisciplinary approach. It builds on the intensive research that has been conducted by the SKD for many years into the history of the institution and the provenance of its artworks.

该项目将调查国家社会主义时期一个历史悠久的博物馆协会的机构组织、人员结构和研究工作。这个项目的发现应该为进一步研究纳粹盗窃艺术品的不同背景提供大量信息。该项目的目标之一是为研究艺术品被盗的情况做出实质性贡献。博物馆的机构过去是，现在仍然受到其董事和研究人员的影响，他们积极地塑造博物馆的工作，做出决策，并参与政治生活和公共管理。这些主角的职业传记是这个项目的目标。虽然这个项目的重点是人，但它不会局限于专著的编写，而是会进一步研究学术、博物馆工作和政治之间的关系和相互联系。这将包括对当代历史和艺术史、机构历史、学术和科学的研究。该研究项目背后的中心思想之一是博物馆工作和相关人员传记的连续性和中断问题。在顺从、合作、服从、社会进步、疏远、不服从、职业结束、流离失所和逃避的复杂系统中，能否确定普遍的机制？一方面，在博物馆的框架内，另一方面，在纳粹党的文化活动中，必须赋予个人及其行为什么意义？他们是否得到了政治、军事或商业精英的帮助？在此基础上，该项目将有可能澄清关于德累斯顿文化城市作用的问题。德累斯顿是纳粹文化政策的试验场吗？这座城市是纳粹艺术品转移系统的枢纽吗？毕竟，是Gemäldegalerie博物馆的负责人汉斯·波塞（Hans Posse）和赫尔曼·沃斯（Hermann Voss）协调了希特勒的特别委员会林茨（Linz），该委员会的目标是在奥地利城市建立一个<s:1>希特勒博物馆（hrer Museum）。通过回答这些问题，该项目也将为出处研究和被掠夺艺术品的研究做出重要贡献。通过将出处研究、该机构的历史及其学术研究以及对传记的系统研究联系起来，该项目将采取广泛的系统和跨学科的方法。它建立在SKD多年来对该机构的历史和艺术品来源进行的深入研究的基础上。
