# Wikingergold Project

The **Wikingergold** project (full title: *Wikingergold – Schatzfunde als translokales Erbe*) is a research and transfer project led by **Prof. Dr. Isabelle Dolezalek**. It is a part of the "Shared Heritage" cluster at the **IFZO** and is conducted in cooperation with the **Stralsund Museum**.

## Objectives
The project investigates the reception and museological presentation of medieval gold treasures in the Baltic Sea region from the 19th century to today. It aims to uncover how these objects have been used for political identification or demarcation, shifting between being viewed as "foreign/negative" and as a "unifying" cultural element of the Baltic peoples.

## Outputs
The research results are intended for a broad audience through:
- Digital mediation formats.
- Analog formats, specifically a traveling exhibition.
