    • 2022 January 17, Catrin Lorch, “Raubkunst und Restitution”, in Süddeutsche Zeitung‎:
      Allerdings verweist sie hier wieder lediglich auf "Wiener Privatbesitz", weswegen das Blatt vom Central Collecting Point in München in den Besitz der Bundesregierung gelangt. Die hat den klaren Auftrag, solche Raubkunst zu restituieren. Doch offensichtlich gibt man sich nicht viel Mühe.
