Germany’s incoming government plans to improve Nazi-looted art restitution

Proposals include eliminating statutes of limitation for claims, creating a central court for cases and strengthening the advisory commission

25/11/2021

Germany’s incoming government said it plans to improve the framework for restituting Nazi-looted art by eliminating statutes of limitations, creating a central court to handle cases and strengthening the advisory commission that deals with claims in public collections.

The plans were set out in the coalition agreement presented yesterday in Berlin by leaders of the Social Democrats, Greens and Liberal Democrats. The three parties, which together won a majority in September’s election, are forming a government to be led by Olaf Scholz, who succeeds Angela Merkel as chancellor. The new government expects to take office in about two weeks.
