quotation

Wiesbaden Central Collecting Point opened on August 20, 1945 in the facilities of the Wiesbaden Landesmuseum. This collecting point was created primarily as a repository for recovered German-owned objects including many works coming from the Prussian State Museums, the Staedel Institute of Frankfurt, and local museums of Wiesbaden. At the height of operations the collecting point was home to approximately 700,000 objects. It was closed in August 1951. (English)
