Abstract: During the renovation of a house in Bad Windsheim was one of the oldest wallpapers from the
Renaissance period discovered and so subject of this thesis. The wallpapers are so‐called
Fladerpapiere (curled spot papers), with several pasted broadsheets and borders on it. The concept
on the spot was to conserve the papers also to collect and map the stock. The question of the specific
motives, their arrangement and its dating has to be answered. The restoration of sample axes and
also the discussion of presentation have to be done.
A second approach deals with the restoration and presentation of three planks with curled spot
papers which were removed during the construction measures. Specific steps such as studies on
material and technique, a varnish removal without solvent, consolidation with starch, additions by
inserting paper inlays and the discussion to the retouching of paper are included in the present work.
