The House of Hohenzollern, seeking compensation and reclaiming art from German museums, changed tactics as Georg Friedrich Prince of Prussia withdrew claims for compensation. This shift facilitated out-of-court negotiations that culminated in a historical agreement in May 2025. The federal government, along with Berlin and Brandenburg, established the non-profit Hohenzollern Art Foundation for managing around 3,000 cultural objects and inventory from former Hohenzollern properties, ensuring public access and cultural preservation. The agreement has been positively received, emphasizing the benefits to the public and cultural heritage.
Georg Friedrich Prince of Prussia's strategic withdrawal from the compensation claims has paved the way for constructive negotiations, concluding a nearly century-long dispute over Hohenzollern art.
The agreement allows the public access to approximately 3,000 objects, ensuring that the legacy of the Hohenzollern family remains a part of the cultural narrative.
