The plaster cast collection of antique sculptures in the ‘Schlossmuseum’ in Mannheim (1803–1943)

1803年，卡尔·弗里德里希·冯·巴登（1728-1811）在曼海姆建立了一个新的石膏雕塑收藏馆。它由150多块碎片组成。它是作为著名的“曼海默安提肯萨尔”（Mannheimer Antikensaal）的替代品而建造的。1777年，当选帝侯卡尔·西奥多（1724-1799）不得不将他的宫廷从曼海姆转移到慕尼黑时，“曼海默安提肯萨尔”被带到慕尼黑。如今，这些替代收藏品几乎被遗忘了，尽管它已经存在了140年，直到二战期间盟军轰炸曼海姆宫（Mannheim Palace）时才被摧毁。该研究项目以档案资料为基础，旨在了解这些藏品的实际历史，如哪些物品是获得的，如何呈现，以及根据不同的文化、历史和政治条件，责任和目标变化的不同阶段。

In 1803, a new plaster cast collection of antique sculptures was established by Karl Friedrich von Baden (1728–1811) in Mannheim. It consisted of more than 150 pieces. It was built up as a substitute for the famous so-called ‘Mannheimer Antikensaal’, which had been brought to Munich when Elector Palatine Carl Theodor (1724–1799) had to transfer his court from Mannheim to Munich in 1777. Today, this substitute collection is almost forgotten, although it had existed for 140 years until it was destroyed when Mannheim Palace was bombed by Allied troops during the Second World War. Based on archival sources, the research project aims at figuring out practical aspects of this collection’s history such as which objects were acquired and how the casts were presented as well as the different phases of changing responsibilities and objectives depending on different cultural, historical and political conditions.
