Abstract (in English)
This publication presents the results of work to date in securing the remains of the world-famous Buddha statues of Bamiyan, which were blown up by the Taliban in 2001. Since 2002, a team from ICOMOS Germany, in cooperation with the Rhine-Westphalia Technical University of Aachen (RWTH Aachen) and the Technical University of Munich (TU München), has been working to recover and document the fragments of these major works of the Gandhara period, which were created in the 6th/7th century AD. The publication shows the conservation methods developed during this spectacular rescue operation and opens up new perspectives for the continuation of the measure, which has so far been funded by the Federal Foreign Office within the framework of cultural aid for Afghanistan.
Die Publikation präsentiert die bisherigen Arbeitsergebnisse bei der Sicherung der Reste der weltberühmten Buddhastatuen von Bamian, die 2001 von den Taliban gesprengt wurden. Seit 2002 hat sich ein Team von ICOMOS Deutschland in Zusammenarbeit mit der RWTH Aachen und der TU München um die Bergung und Dokumentation der Fragmente dieser im 6./7. Jahrhundert n. Chr. entstandenen Hauptwerke der Gandhara-Epoche bemüht. Die Veröffentlichung zeigt die bei dieser spektakulären Rettungsmaßnahme entwickelten Konservierungsmethoden und eröffnet neue Perspektiven für die Fortführung der bisher im Rahmen der Kulturhilfe für Afghanistan vom Auswärtigen Amt geförderten Maßnahme.
