Biography/Administrative history:

Show detail Hide detail

Deutsche Ausland-Institut : The Deutsche Ausland-Institut (DAI) was established in 1917 to serve as museum and research centre on Germans outside Germany. At the same time, it sought to disseminate an awareness in the Reich of Germans outside its borders as well as to foster closer relations between Germans in Germany and those outside the Reich. The organization operated under the joint direction of the Cultural Ministry of Wurtemberg, the Ministry of the Interior and of the Department of External Affairs. After 1943, it was under the direction of the Volksdeutsche Mittlestelle, an organization established to look to and forward the concerns of Germans outside Germany. In addition to conducting research on Germans outside Germany, the DAI served as an advisory centre for emigrants.
