Finally peace: Hohenzollern art treasures now belong to the foundation!
It's done! After almost 100 years of dispute over the art treasures of the House of Hohenzollern, there is finally an agreement. As the Brandenburg Ministry of the Interior announced in Potsdam, the discussion about the more than 3,600 art and collection items, which have been controversial for decades, will now be ended with a legally binding agreement. This includes the Hohenzollern Art Foundation, the public sector and the descendants of the last German emperor. A clear step into the future that is intended to show that even after long conflicts, something common can emerge again. Deutschlandfunk Kultur reports that the foundation will now take responsibility for the objects and will make them accessible through various institutions such as the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation and the German Historical Museum Foundation.
This agreement takes place in an exciting historical context. Berlin's art collection is of great importance and preserves many treasures from German history. Ensuring that these valuable pieces remain accessible to the public is crucial.
A look at the situation of the Atikamekw in Obedjiwan
While Brandenburg has exciting developments, there are also important issues at the international level. For example, the community of Obedjiwan in Quebec, Canada, is an important homeland for the Atikamekw. Their history is deeply rooted in the tradition of canoeing, which once had great importance in their way of life. However, this community has been characterized by various challenges in recent years, including the massive changes to its environment caused by the construction of the Gouin Dam. Wikipedia offers a comprehensive overview about the developments in this region, which date back to 1918.
Obedjiwan was officially recognized as an Indian reservation in 1950. Covering 926.72 hectares, it is now governed by an elected Atikamekw council. It is noteworthy that the population of Obedjiwan has maintained considerable demographics despite all odds: in 2021, the municipality had a population of around 1,991.
