Wikimedia appealed. In September 2016, the decision was affirmed. The court held not only that copyright as simple light photography existed in the museum’s reproductions, but also that the museum could restrict visitors from making their own reproductions based on the private ownership status of the works. Wikimedia appealed. In June 2017, the highest court in Stuttgart affirmed again, but permitted an appeal. Visual Date Date of creation or availability of the resource that is shown to users.
