Overview

• The German government and the House Hohenzollern have resolved a nearly 100-year dispute over ownership of historically significant artworks and artifacts.
• The agreement establishes a new non-profit foundation, Stiftung Hohenzollernscher Kunstbesitz, to hold and manage the contested items.
• Approximately 27,000 objects will remain in public collections, including those of the Stiftung Preußischer Kulturbesitz and Deutsches Historisches Museum.
• Seven tabatières, or ornate snuffboxes, were recognized as Hohenzollern property, with two to remain as permanent public loans.
• The settlement awaits final approval from supervisory boards of key cultural institutions, expected in the coming weeks.
