Some files and photographs of the Frankfurt China Institute (1924-1976, a cultural science institute of the university), its directors and staff, and a sculpture from its old holdings: a head (Ming dynasty, c. 1600). The initiative to found the institute was taken by a private foundation and its holdings were fed from various sources of other donors. A special relationship to the German Kiaotchou leasehold does not seem to have existed. The cultural contacts were rather made through the founder of the institute, Richard Wilhelm, who had studied in Beijing and whose advocacy for the cultural exchange of Germany with China honoured the Chinese government by providing the funds for the maintenance of the institute after his death in 1930.
