Research, teaching & network
We provide advice according to the current state of the art. We would like to show in all facets of an object, what is in it, which treasures are perhaps still hidden and what significance they have. We are committed to art consulting and every single one of our appraisals. Our knowledge must therefore always be up-to-date – and we are constantly extending this knowledge.

University of York: MA in Stained Glass Conservation
We are therefore also engaged in research and at universities, where we have developed and implemented a degree course in "Stained Glass Conservation and Heritage Management" at York University, for example. Dr. Rauch is a permanent 'visiting tutor' there and has both designed the course and established the training workshop.
You can find out more about the degree course here.

Research & Volunteering
Invaluable is also our exchange with other professionals in the field. Dr. Rauch is member of all relevant scientific associations and holds honorary functions there.
He is President of the "International Scientific Committee for the Conservation of Stained Glass" of ICOMOS, a non-governmental advisory organisation to UNESCO, which is committed to the conservation of monuments, ensembles and cultural landscapes.
And he is also President of the National Committee of CVMA Deutschland, which has set itself the goal of scientifically cataloguing the entire collection of medieval stained glass.
Focused knowledge for your object
This ensures that we have state-of-the-art knowledge and can advise you at any time according to the latest knowledge and technology. We combine basic training with years of professional experience and the above-mentioned commitments in the fields of science, research and networking.
