"The collection was in possession of the House of Hohenzollern, a dynasty that shaped Prussia and Germany for centuries. Prominent figures such as King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of Prussia and Emperor Wilhelm I played a key role in expanding the ensemble.

Initially housed in the Hohenzollern Museum at Monbijou Palace in Berlin, the collection was moved to the Berlin City Palace towards the end of the Second World War. After the war, it was taken to the Soviet Union as looted art, and returned to East Berlin in 1958. For decades, it remained largely hidden from the public and was kept at the Bode Museum.

Negotiations with public authorities regarding the fate of the collection had been going on for years when an agreement was reached in 2025. As a result, many items will remain as permanent loans in German museums. Other pieces have passed into the ownership of the House of Hohenzollern." (text courtesy of F.R. Kuenker).
