Former German royal family wins lawsuit

March 1, 2021

According to the Valley Bugler Newspaper:

A Berlin court ruled…in a dispute with a historian in favor of the heirs of the Prussian monarchy. This is the latest turning point in a legal battle seeking….the return of thousands of paintings, sculptures and books to the German state, as well as compensation for the expropriation of property by the Soviet Union, whose armed forces occupied Germany.

The question of the Hohenzollern’s relationship to Hitler is of central importance for the family’s claims. According to German law, compensation is only possible if the applicant was not involved and contributed significantly to the rise of the Nazis to power.
