Overview

"English summary: On the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the reopening of the Egyptian Museum of the University of Leipzig, Elke Blumenthal, its longtime director, tells the story of the museum's eventful history following its closure after the bombing raids of 1943, the years of the GDR, the time of the ""Wende"" and the period up to the present day. Going beyond the boundaries of the discipline, the history of the collection reflects key political events and developments as well as demonstrating the special significance of the museum as a lifeline and gateway to the world during the years of the East German regime. Based on her personal memories, Blumenthal's account expands upon existing works on the history of the museum, with the inclusion of numerous snapshots of everyday life, not to mention the diverse nuances of subjective experience. The work is completed by a range of formerly unpublished photographs, a detailed register of persons, bibliographical references, contemporary documents and Blumenthal's own personal memories of the fall of the Wall on November 9th. German description: Anlasslich des 40. Jahrestags der Wiedereroffnung des Agyptischen Museums der Universitat Leipzig erzahlt die langjahrige Leiterin Elke Blumenthal die wechselvolle Geschichte des Museums seit seiner Schliessung nach den Bombenangriffen von 1943 sowie in der DDR- und Wendezeit bis heute. Uber die Grenzen der Fachrichtung hinaus spiegelt die Historie der Sammlung die entscheidenden politischen Situationen und Entwicklungen wider und zeigt die besondere Bedeutung des Museums unter dem DDR-Regime als Rettungsanker und Tor zur Welt. Basierend auf ihren personlichen Erinnerungen erweitert Blumenthal die zeithistorischen Arbeiten zur Geschichte des Museums mit zahlreichen Momentaufnahmen aus dem taglichen Geschehen um die mannigfaltigen Zwischentone subjektiven Erlebens. Bisher unveroffentlichte Fotoaufnahmen, ein ausfuhrliches Personenregister, Literaturangaben, zeitgenossische Dokumente und Blumenthals ganz personliche Erinnerungen an den Mauerfall am 9. November runden das Werk ab."
