Albert Carlebach

Albert Carlebach (born March 11, 1872 in Heidelberg ; † April 10, 1954 ibid) was a book and art dealer, antiquarian and bibliophile.

In 1904 he took over the book and art antiquariat in Heidelberg, founded by his father Ernst Carlebach . However, he gave up the shop and moved the second-hand bookshop to the first floor of the house. He auctioned off the libraries of Kuno Fischer (1908) and Friedrich von Weech , among others . Between 1930 and 1933 five illustrated auction catalogs with books and graphics were published. In 1932 a joint auction with the Kunsthaus Dr. Christmas tree in Mannheim.

In 1937 the antiquarian bookshop was foreclosed and Albert Carlebach himself was deported to the Gurs camp in 1940. When he returned to Heidelberg in 1948/49 the house was returned to him. He published some historical treatises. After his death in 1954, the Kurpfälzisches Museum of the City of Heidelberg acquired part of his collections.
