Hi Ryan,
This is a good example of the old expression "the wheels of justice turn
slowly." We did appeal the case, but we haven't had anything else to say
about it in the interim at the Foundation. Germany, like the U.S., has only
one high court and they take a long while to do anything. And work on this
kind of case is mostly us internally tweaking documents and then waiting.
It's still around though and we're hoping that the BGH reconsiders it on
appeal.
Best,
Jacob

Two years ago, the Wikimedia Foundation and

important case against the Reiss Engelhorn Museum in Germany,[1] but
according to the press, we were intending to appeal the decision.[2] Since
then, I haven't heard anything else about the case. Did we ever proceed
with an appeal?
