Art Museum Bern

In 2012 Spanke moved to the Kunstmuseum Bern , where he represented the director and looked after the extensive art collection up to contemporary art. Especially his exhibition Modern Masters. “Degenerate” art in the Kunstmuseum Bern attracted attention in the context of the acceptance of the legacy of Cornelius Gurlitt , whose sole heir was the Kunstmuseum Bern. The Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and Media , Monika Grütters , co-patron of the exhibition, praised the special show as a role model in dealing with the history of collections and acquisitions.

Gustav Lübcke Museum

In 2017 Spanke switched to the Gustav-Lübcke-Museum in Hamm as director . There he initiated the digital recording of the extensive collections of the house and planned a reorganization of the collection exhibitions. The regional archeology and urban history departments, which are distributed over different floors, were to be merged again in the long term, as were the arts and crafts and fine arts departments, and the ancient Egypt collection was to be redesigned. Another concern of his was the processing of the museum's history under Ludwig Bänfer during the National Socialist dictatorship. After only one and a half years, Spanke terminated his employment contract with the city of Hamm. Spanke also cited the lack of support within the Hamm city administration as reasons for his early departure, which would also have left him little freedom and opportunities to implement new ideas.
