The East African nation Welcomes Valuable Items Following a 100-Year Stay in German Hands
A total of Twelve cultural items were formally returned to the Ethiopian nation after remaining by a family in Germany for more than a century.
The treasures, originally acquired in the 1920s by the German then-envoy to Ethiopia Franz Weiss and his wife his partner, were transferred on this past Wednesday to the research center at Addis Ababa University.
The set contained crowns, shields and canvases, all viewed as historically valuable in Ethiopia.
"The treasures still stand as a mark of the enduring and friendly connection between Germany and Ethiopia," remarked the German diplomat, Germany's ambassador to the East African country.
Dr. Ramon Wyss, whose parent was born during the household's assignment in Ethiopia, delivered the artefacts at a gathering witnessed by the Minister of Tourism the tourism official.
He explained that the household's intention to give back the treasures was to "display their appeal with the public and maintain the heritage and history linked to my parent's beginning."
These items were either considered presents or buys, according to the relatives.
"We want to express gratitude to the Weiss relatives for actively demonstrating their profound affection for Ethiopia by carefully safeguarding these items and crucially securing their homecoming to their rightful nation," said the official.
The minister added that the items would soon be made accessible to the general audience for investigation and academic study, calling the action a significant step in protecting Ethiopia's historical legacy.
"Actions persist to repatriate historical objects that are found in the custody of collectors and institutions throughout the globe," she said.
During colonialism in Africa, thousands of traditional artefacts were looted.
This demand by African countries for the restoration of looted objects has been responded to by some positive outcomes in recent years - although some objects are merely on loan.
Back in the year 2022, Germany was the initial nation to repatriate a selection of the renowned Benin Bronzes to the Nigerian people in an attempt to address its "complex legacy."
