Zusammenfassung: In 2018, in Malzgasse 16, in Vienna´s 2nd district, hundreds of objects – including liturgical objects, museum exhibits, and everyday items – were sensationally unearthed from the cellar
of a former synagogue. The building, which also served as a school and museum, had been
destroyed in the November pogrom in 1938, and the objects had been later buried in its cellar together with the debris. The discovery documents the lively religious and cultural life of Jewish Vienna before the rise of National Socialism. For this dissertation, both the inventory and the
condition of a selection of the retrieved objects will be assessed. Given the ethical factor and
the different layers on the original surface, two separate conservation/restoration strategies
will be adopted: the traces of the pogrom (ashes, charcoal) will be preserved, whereas the
traces of ground storage (corrosion, foreign material) will be removed. Moreover, to preserve
the original substance, it will be essential to stabilise the objects. During the practical work, the focus will lie on desalination baths and on various consolidation methods.
