威斯巴登博物馆定于11月10日向印度尼西亚归还10具头骨：黑森州文化部称将为德国博物馆首次向印尼归还遗骸
威斯巴登 — 黑森州文化部表示，威斯巴登博物馆定于 11 月 10 日举行仪式，向印度尼西亚归还 10 具头骨；如按计划举行，这将是德国博物馆首次向印度尼西亚归还人类遗骸。该安排于 11 月 4 日报道时仍待举行。
这批遗骸属于军医 Ernst Albert Fritze 的收藏，于 19 世纪进入威斯巴登。文化部称，此次归还是黑森州机构审查藏品中殖民时期不当获取行为并承担历史责任工作的一部分。
遗骸的确切来源尚未查清。德国失落艺术基金会称其来源仍不明确，其研究项目旨在进一步查明这批遗骸的出处与应有处置方式。博物馆策展人 Andy Reymann 已对该收藏的来源研究多年。
该馆此前已于 2023 年 6 月 7 日把 Fritze 收藏中的一件毛利与莫里奥里先人头骨 Toi Moko 归还给新西兰代表团。
Museum Wiesbaden to Return 10 Skulls to Indonesia at a Ceremony on November 10, in What Hesse's Culture Ministry Calls a First Return of Human Remains by a German Museum to Indonesia
Wiesbaden — Museum Wiesbaden plans to return 10 human skulls from the Dutch colonial era to Indonesia at a ceremony on November 10, Hesse's culture ministry said. The handover was still forthcoming when it was reported on November 4.
The remains were part of the collection of military physician Ernst Albert Fritze and reached Wiesbaden in the 19th century. The ministry said the planned return is part of efforts by Hesse's state institutions to examine their collections for unlawful colonial-era acquisitions and take responsibility for their history.
The connection to Fritze does not establish the remains' precise origins. The German Lost Art Foundation says their provenance remains unclear, and its research project aims to learn more about where they came from and how they should be handled. Museum curator Andy Reymann has researched the collection's origins for several years.
On June 7, 2023, the museum returned a Toi Moko, a prepared ancestral skull from New Zealand in Fritze's collection, to a Maori and Moriori delegation.
