- Abstract
The article deals with the strategies of the Imperial German Archaeological Institute to also benefit archaeology from the construction of the Anatolian Railway at the end of the 19th century. One focus is on the stay of the classical philologist Alfred Körte in Anatolia, who was supposed to support the railway construction project in archaeological matters with the help of the Archaeological Institute and the support of the director of the Anatolian Railway Company, Otto von Kühlmann. The resulting controversies with the Ottoman authorities are presented and reference is made to collection items that were transferred to the German Empire as a result of this collaboration. The article also raises the question of to what extent the interplay between archaeology and railway construction, as demonstrated by the Anatolian Railway, provided useful experiences for the construction of the Baghdad Railway under completely new political conditions.
