Sehr geehrter Herr Busch,
im Folgenden finden Sie einige Hinweise zum Hitler-Schreibtisches aus der Neuen Reichskanzlei. Genauere Angaben zum Verbleib zwischen 1945 und 1948 liegen uns nicht vor.
Nach Auskunft von einer Augenzeugin (Frau Ranzt) waren die Möbel aus der Neuen Reichskanzlei 1944/45 in Schloss Augustusburg im Erzgebirge eingelagert. 1945 erfolgte der Abtransport durch russische Soldaten.
Eine Übergabe aus russischer in amerikanische Obhut muss zwischen 1945 und 1948 stattgefunden haben, lässt sich
aber nicht nachweisen.
Die Inventarisierung des Schreibtisches erfolgte am 11. März 1948 am Herrenchiemsee. Die Angaben auf der alten Karteikarte lauten: "Münchner Sammlung, Eingangsdatum 11.03.1948, Mü.-Nr. 46369 Herrenchiemsee 336".
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Leonore Koschnick

Dear Dr Asmuss,
Many thanks for your quick and informative reply regarding my question about
the globe from the Reich Foreign Ministry which is currently displayed in
the Zeughaus.
I hope you don't mind me asking you one further question regarding one of
your exhibits.
Do you know what became of Hitler's desk from his study in the Neue
Reichskanzlei after 1945 and how it became to be displayed in the DHM?
I had always believed that the desk was destroyed by Soviet troops in May
1945. Was there restoration done in recent years or is the current exhibit a
spare desk from the Chancellery? Was the desk perhaps missing or in storage
for many years or was it on display somewhere else?
Any information you can give me would be most helpful and thanks once again
for your previous reply. It is very much appreciated.
I lived in Berlin for many months in 2002 and unfortunately never had the
opportunity to visit the Zeughaus as restoration work was being carried out on
the building. However, I am planning to return to Berlin in spring 2008 and
it will definitely be top of my list for museums to visit.
I am very much interested in German History and am planning to study for a
degree in 20th Century Military & Political History at the University of
Strathclyde next year.
Kind regards,
David B
