Abstract: The four paintings with family coats of arms, originally placed in the ancient „Rats‐Trinkstube” of the
town hall of Würzburg, were exhibited in the „Kelterhalle” of the Museum of Main‐Franconia of
Würzburg. The family coats of arms of the councillors of Würzburg are illustrated on these
paintings which were made on canvas. Having investigated technologically and having studied
scientifically in the seventh semester, findings of damage, accompanied by diagrams illustrating the
locations of the damage as well as an analysis of its causes were compiled. Within the scope of the
dissertation a method concept of further conservation and a method concept of restoration were
developed taking into consideration the ancient state of the work and the climatically difficult
condition in the „Kelterhalle”. Furthermore, measures of conservation and restoration as an
exemplar of restoration were implemented on one of the four paintings.
