Poland on the trail of stolen works of art. Germany is preparing to return the royal ring

Germany will make another return of works of art that were looted during the last war – according to the findings of “Rzeczpospolita” in its Tuesday edition.

According to the findings of “Rzeczpospolita”, Germany is willing to return to Poland the ring of Sigismund I the Old, which came from the box of royal Isabella Czartoryska and was robbed during World War II. The ring was found in the jewelry museum of the town of Pforzheim.

According to the newspaper, according to German museum experts, the legal situation of this object is complex. It was pointed out that this results from German civil law, which does not assume the existence of any claims for restitution.

However, it was emphasized that the federal states of Germany declared an obligation to unconditionally return the looted works of art that had become public property.” “This obligation is not legally binding, but has an important moral, cultural and political weight,” said the German authors of the position on the ring quoted by “Rz.”

The newspaper reported that the return of the royal jewelry will most likely take place in the middle of this year. The case is being handled by the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs. (PAP)
