Our guest is Berlin chief detective Ren\u00e9 Allonge: he convicts forgers and art thieves.<\/p>\n

Ever since art has existed or been traded in, the criminal trade has also existed. Even works by K\u00e4the Kollwitz were forged during her lifetime and beyond. In recent years, spectacular art thefts and art forgeries have repeatedly made headlines. In these cases, the expertise and know-how of art investigators is required to track down the stolen works of art and the thieves. But how do you become an art investigator and how do the investigators work?[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”11839″ img_size=”full” onclick=”img_link_large” css=”.vc_custom_1736850326022{padding-right: 25px !important;}”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1736862310676{margin-right: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;}”]Ren\u00e9 Allonge gives an insight into the everyday life of an art investigator and presents some unusual cases. The best-known cases of the special unit led by Ren\u00e9 Allonge include the conviction of international art forger Wolfgang Beltracchi, the discovery of the Walking Horses by Nazi sculptor Josef Thorak and the diaries of John Lennon, the investigation of the break-in at the Bode Museum, in which the 100-kilogram gold coin \u201cBig Maple Leaf\u201d was stolen, as well as the investigation of the Gotha art heist from 1979 and the discovery of the stolen Old Master paintings.<\/p>\n

In an interview for arte magazine in November 2022, the experienced art investigator said: \u201cI walk through a museum with different eyes. Art investigators immediately look for security devices; we are equipped with a professional skepticism.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We look forward to an inspiring evening![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_separator][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1736862331127{margin-right: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;}”]Born in the GDR in 1973, Ren\u00e9 Allonge<\/strong> began his career in 1992 in the senior ranks of the Berlin criminal investigation department. After studying at the Berlin School of Economics and Law, he became an investigator in the organized property crime division of the Berlin State Criminal Police Office in 1997. Since 2009, he has been chief investigator for art crime at the Berlin State Criminal Police Office and is one of the most renowned art investigators in Germany.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1736862346313{margin-right: 50px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;}”]<\/p>\n
