English summary: Illegal excavations, robbery and targeted theft, as well as destruction during war, repeatedly lead to losses and devastation in cultural institutions and historical sites. On the basis of 32 case studies with over 400 photos, museum and antiquities service managers as well as cultural heritage protection activists from Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Egypt and Libya report for the first time on the concrete situation of the massively threatened cultural heritage of their homelands. Before and after comparisons, supplemented by current research results, illustrate the dimension of these losses for the societies there and ultimately – as world heritage – for all of us. The publication appears in German with English and Arabic summaries. German description: Illegale Ausgrabungen, Raub und gezielter Diebstahl sowie Kriegszerstorungen fuhren immer wieder zu Verlusten und Verheerungen in kulturellen Einrichtungen und historischen Statten. Anhand von 32 Fallbeispielen mit uber 400 Fotos berichten hier erstmals Museums- und Antikendienstverantwortliche sowie AktivistInnen des Kulturgutschutzes aus Syrien, dem Irak, Jemen, Agypten und Libyen uber die konkrete Situation des massiv bedrohten kulturellen Erbes ihrer Heimat. Vorher-nachher-Vergleiche, erganzt durch aktuelle Forschungsergebnisse, verdeutlichen die Dimension dieser Verluste fur die dortigen Gesellschaften und letztlich – als Welterbe – fur uns alle.
