Abstract
The contribution offers an overview of the history of reconstructions and their use, with a representative selection of formats and their contexts, from the beginnings in the early 19th century to the present. The polychromy of ancient architecture is dealt with only to a limited degree.The point of departure is a perceived need of establishing an informed and critical discussion of the whys and wherefores of reconstructions. On the background of the investigative technologies which have been developed with unprecedented rapidity, a methodological protocol allowing cross-checks of data is recommended.
