TY - JOUR T1 - Kunstwerke über das Heilige Land in Südafrika. Provenienzrecherche in umgekehrter Richtung? PY - 2017 N2 - Berlin Mission Director, Hermann Theodor Wangemann recorded his travels in diary inscriptions and with sketches that he made of places that he visited. He travelled before photography became the standard means of recording images. A collection of 106 drawings made by Wangemann was acquired from a German art dealer by a South African museum in 1954. The drawings were made during two visits to the mission fields in Southern Africa during 1866–1867 and 1884–1885. The themes vary from South African landscapes to six drawings of places in the Middle East. Time spent in the Middle East as part of an impromptu pilgrimage to the Holy Land at the end of his first trip, resulted in the drawings of places in the Egypt and Israel/Palestine. The drawings have significant cultural-historical values as they are accompanied by extensive written travelogues. The Wangemann collection is currently curated by the Ditsong National Museum of Cultural History in Pretoria. The question is whether the drawings have come illegally to South Africa. A provenance research would be possible.
