Why are the Germans so interested in Iraq?

Prior to WWI German archaeologists digging around the old city of Babylon found the Gate of Ishtar and took it to Germany where it is in a Berlin museum to this day.

Iraq has asked for it back.

Wonder if some of that stolen museum pieces are on their way to Germany.

What is the connection? Why Germany?
