The Second World War was a significant turning point in the history of institutionalized German archaeology in Egypt. Against the backdrop of the complete loss of all of its property in Egypt and of the ongoing political tensions between the young Federal Republic of Germany and Egypt’s Nasser regime, the German Archaeological Institute had to rebuild its department in Cairo. Germany’s new western-orientated foreign policy and the reparations agreement with Israel complicated their relationship with Egypt. The talk traces the developments from the first steps towards a reopening of the Cairo Department to the institute’s consolidation in the 1950s and early 1960s.
