In 1900, Dehio started the Handbuch der deutschen Kunstgeschichte (Handbook of German Art History); this project is still alive, managed by the 'Dehio-Vereinigung', Munich.
Dehio's interest in art history was sparked after a trip to Italy 1876-77.
In 1958 the organization was renewed as "Dehio-Vereinigung" (Dehio Society), and in 1976 as the "Dehio-Vereinigung: Wissenschaftliche Vereinigung zur Fortführung des kunsttopographischen Werkes von GeorgDehio" (Dehio Society: the Intellectual Foundation for the Furthering of the Artistic/Topographical Work of GeorgDehio), headquartered in Bamburg, Germany.
Dehio's art history is that of a people, rather than the prevailing conception of art created by "Great Masters." The hero of German art was the youth of Germany.
