            Abstract
            The Nako temple complex with its earliest structures dating back to the 11th century is an extraordinary testimony of early Tibetan Buddhism not anymore preserved in today’s Tibet. Endangered by the rough environment, improper treatment and frequent earthquakes, the outstanding monuments were re-discovered by scholars from Austrian universities in the 1980s. The transdisciplinary research project carried out over more than 20 years led to in-depth studies, preservation and model-like conservation of the temples and their artworks.
             
            Der Nako Tempelkomplex, dessen früheste Gebäude auf das 11. Jahrhundert zurückgehen, ist ein außergewöhnliches Zeugnis des frühen tibetischen Buddhismus, das im heutigen Tibet nicht mehr erhalten ist. Gefährdet durch das rauhe Klima, unsachgemäßen restauratorischen Umgang und v.a. häufige Erdbeben wurden die bedeutenden Denkmäler in den 1980er Jahren von österreichischen WissenschaftlerInnen wiederentdeckt. Ein transdisziplinäres Forschungsprojekt, über mehr als 20 Jahre durchgeführt, führte zu intensiven Untersuchungen und Studien sowie einer modellhaften Konservierung und Restaurierung der Tempelanlage und ihrer Ausstattung.
