Dr. Hanns Hubach is a researcher at the Institute of Art History, University of Zurich, specializing in European tapestry history with particular focus on the Electors Palatine collections (1400-1700). His work reconstructs the Heidelberg Court's tapestry workshop operations (1435-1689) and analyzes the dispersal of the original 550-piece collection during the Thirty Years' War and Pfälzischer Erbfolgekrieg. His research program centers on two major projects: comprehensive assembly of the Electors Palatine's former tapestry collection through archival evidence, and analysis of high medieval tapestries' reception in the early modern period (1450-1550). A critical component involves editing Sigismund Meisterlin's 1464 treatise on ancient tapestries and examining their function as historical authentication media, culminating in Dürer's Michelfeld-Tapestry woodcut—the first known pictorial documentation of an extant tapestry for its own sake. Dr. Hubach's scholarly output demonstrates consistent thematic focus on German princely court collections, particularly Heidelberg and Neuburg, combining art historical analysis with historical documentation to reconstruct lost cultural heritage. His publications reveal meticulous attention to workshop techniques, material composition (noting use of 'golt, silber und seyd'—gold, silver and silk), and the political contexts of collection dispersal. Active in academic dissemination, Dr. Hubach presented his Meisterlin project at the University of Bern in 2011. While specific grant details aren't public, his research framework operates within the University of Zurich's Institute of Art History, leveraging institutional resources for archival investigations across European collections. His work provides essential methodology for reconstructing fragmented art historical lineages through interdisciplinary documentation analysis.
