| Abstract: | Between 1960 and 1969 an archaeological excavation in the precincts of the former Monastery of Brunshausen in Lower Saxony uncovered 3200 stained glass fragments with painted decoration. This thesis discusses the characteristics of the condition of the find with regards to its deposition in the ground as well as to its atmospheric deterioration. A wide range of scientific and technological research supports the theoretical discussion and gives an overview of the large corpus of finds. The resulting concept for conservation and restoration interventions was developed and executed with regards to presentation in a museum and to the archival storage respectively. The fragmentary character of the stained glass was retained and represents the starting point for its interpretation. Once sorted, the find could be dated to the first half of the thirteenth century. |
