Abstract

The Collections of the Landesmuseum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte, founded in 1942 and based mainly on the archaeological collections of the Shevchenko Central Historical Museum (now the National Museum of Ukrainian History) and the Institute of Archaeology of the Academy of Science of USSR (now the National Academy of Science of Ukraine), were taken out by the German civil administration through the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg in September–October 1943 to Krakow and then to the German city Höchstädt in Bavaria. In the course of the post-war restitution these collections were returned from Germany to the museum. Basing on the published lists of the removed to Germany collections, exhibits and accessory materials, it is possible to analyze quantitative and qualitative compound of the NMUH collections not only before and during removal, but also after its restitution.
Keywords: Landesmuseum für Vor- und Frühgeschichte, National Museum of Ukrainian History, Central Historical Museum, restitution, Höchstädt, cultural values, Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg
