Overview:  
 
Abstract: The pictures sequence in the “Gartensaal” at the manor house “Heltorf” in Düsseldorf-Angermund was build
between 1824-1841 by four artists of the Düsseldorfer school of painting. The present condition of the wall
paintings were caused by the (uneven) building construction and the early work of restoration. In order to
repair the soiled damage of the wall paintings and its limited legibility, a preventive and inventive strategy
of conservation must be undertaken. In conclusion to preserve the wall paintings, a damage-analysis is also
necessary, along with cleaning and consolidation tests. Furthermore a long term monitoring system has to
be elaborated. The aim is to create a better legibility of the paintings by using a LED based source from the
company Brumberg.
