Aachen Franciscan monastery

Stamp: "Franziskanerkloster Aachen - Mohnheimsallee"

In 2014, a book from the library of the Franciscan monastery in Aachen was given back. It was restituted to the German Franciscan Province as the legal successor to the monastery, which has been dissolved in 1966.

The book came from a depot of the Reich Security Main Office (Reichssicherheitshauptamt, RSHA) at Eisenacher Str. 11-13 in Berlin Schöneberg. The RSHA had collected looted books from all over Europe there. After the end of the war in 1945, some of these books were distributed by the salvage office to libraries in Berlin.
