The Altonaer Künstlerverein (AKV), also called the Altonaer Künstler-Verein , was founded in 1909, was almost inactive from 1934 and was dissolved in 1953. The city ​​of Altona , which belongs to the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein , became part of the State of Hamburg on April 1, 1937 through the Greater Hamburg Act and lost its status as an independent city when it was incorporated into the Hanseatic City of Hamburg on April 1, 1938.

The Union

Wilhelmine era

The Altona artist association was founded in the Wilhelminian era in spring 1909. On August 20, 1909, a small note on page 8 of the morning edition of the Altonaer Nachrichten said that painters, draftsmen, sculptors and architects from Altona had come together to form a professional association called the Altonaer Künstlerverein in order to promote their artistic and economic interests promote. The 20 members named therein were Wilhelm Battermann, Carl Becker , Georg Bindhardt, George Buckup , Berthold Clauss, Bertha Dörflein (Dörflein-Kahlke) , Carl Ehrich, Curt Francke, August Henneberger , Hans Kolitz, Jacob Mitteldorf, Adolf Möller , Martha Nopitsch, Fritz (Carlos Friedrich) Peters-Weber, Carl Rathjen , Rudolf Schäfer , Oskar Schwindrazheim , Otto Stichling , Hermann Stuhr and the director of the Altona Museum Otto Lehmann . Carl Ratjen was unanimously elected president of the association, but rejected the election. The association's first exhibition took place in the Altona Museum from December 5, 1909 to January 5, 1910. George Buckup designed the exhibition poster. It shows a couple, looking at a picture, in clothing that was fashionable until around 1870, the lady in crinoline and hat with boa and parasol , the gentleman in tailcoat with parricide , scarf , top hat and walking stick .

The first membership list was drawn up in January 1910. It is now in the holdings of the Altona Museum, as is the association's log book, which was kept from 1913 to 1939. At the end of January or beginning of February 1911 a general assembly was held at which Wilhelm Battermann, Carl Becker, Georg Bindhardt, Curt Francke and Fritz Peters-Weber were elected to the board. In addition, the exhibition and hanging committee, which consisted of Wilhelm Battermann, Carl Becker, Georg Bindhardt, Curt Francke and Carl Ratjen, was elected for the exhibition in the Altona Museum in March 1911. With regard to the exhibition poster, it was decided to use a design by Carl Becker. In order to make the exhibition possible for the artists, the Altonaic Support Institute donated 1000 Marks twice in the run-up to the exhibition . At the beginning of April 1911, Berthold Clauss became engaged to Erna Mitteldorf, the daughter of Jacob Mitteldorf and his wife Marta, née Schmogrow .

On December 7, 1911, the city of Altona acquired Donner's Castle from Helene Donner, who died in 1909, for 800,000 marks, with the associated park, today's Donners Park , in order to use it for cultural events. From 21 May to 23 June 1912 a joint exhibition was held there, on the one hand an exhibition of arts and crafts was altonaischem objects from private property and also an exhibition of Altona Artists Association . The exhibition with objects from Altona private collections comprised over 1,600 items. The private collection also included works by current and later members of the Altona Artists' Association . Most of the works of art were by artists from Altona and Hamburg. Many were living or deceased members of the Hamburg Artists' Association , such as the Altona painter Louis Gurlitt , who died in 1897 and who was best represented at the exhibition with around 176 works. A marble bust by Christian Behrens and an oil portrait by Carl Rahl depicting Louis Gurlitt were also exhibited. 15 members with 122 works took part in the exhibition of the Altonaer Künstlerverein . The overall committee of the exhibition included the Lord Mayor Bernhard Schnackenburg , two senators and some important personalities of the city of Altona, the director of the Altona Museum Otto Lehmann as well as the five association members Carl Becker, Albrecht Burchard, Jacob Mitteldorf, Oskar Schwindrazheim and the association chairman Carl Ratjen. Otto Lehmann was also the chairman of the workers 'committee, which also included the five members of the association, of whom Jacob Mitteldorf was the deputy chairman of the workers' committee. The artists' association, which organized a competition within the association, took care of the poster design. Carl Rathjen won the award of 80 marks for his design. Sculptor and founding member Otto Stichling did not take part in the exhibition; he died before it on April 28, 1912 in the Lankwitz sanatorium .

From the beginning, the association tried to give the public a picture of a cohesive artist body and to anchor the artists as a socially necessary instrument of the city of Altona in the public's awareness. In a letter to the municipal authorities in 1913, the chairman of the association, Curt Francke, expressed the association's wish to work more closely with the city authorities. Francke suggested the establishment of an Altona cultural fund, which should only make use of local art interests and artists. Two weeks later, the magistrate informed him in reply that he was benevolent to the wishes of the artists and that the association would be consulted on a well to be built in the Isebectal valley . After a conversation with the Lord Mayor Schnackenburg, Franke reported at the association meeting on March 18, 1913 that the magistrate was sympathetic to the creation of a municipal art fund. The association could also participate in municipal activities for the city's 250th anniversary in 1914, which was to be honored in the form of a horticultural exhibition .

As early as February 1913, Bertha Dörflein-Kahlke, now married , asked the Schleswig-Holstein Art Cooperative to hold a joint exhibition with the Altona artist association on the occasion of the city's anniversary , which, however, contradicted the self-expression and the self-serving efforts of the association and was rejected. In a meeting in November between the members Wilhelm Battermann and Friedrich Missfeldt , who was also the 1st chairman of the Schleswig-Holstein Art Cooperative , the topic was discussed again. On December 5th, a general assembly of the artists' association took place, in which Friedrich Missfeldt and Fritz Stoltenberg also took part in their function as board members of the Schleswig-Holstein art cooperative . Curt Francke reported that the association on Fischers Allee had a plot of land available for the construction of its own exhibition building. The cost of the building would amount to 15,000 marks, which can be covered by small contributions from the two club and cooperative assets, through entrance fees, postcard sales, raffles and a public issue of 150 share certificates at 100 marks each. Francke's statements were followed by the approval of the members. Already at the meeting, shares were issued and purchased for 1,400 marks. A finance commission was formed consisting of the extraordinary (sponsoring) member and machine manufacturer Carl Menck (co-owner of Menck & Hambrock , son of Johannes Menck ) and the ordinary (artistically active) members Wilhelm Battermann, Albrecht Burchardt and Hans Kolitz (son of Louis Kolitz ) existed. The commission had, among other things, the task of attracting wealthy and art-loving circles, associations, banks, the Royal Commerz Collegium , the Altonaic Support Institute and newspapers, among other things, to the exhibition project as sponsors. Within a few days 10,000 marks were already collected. Founding member Jacob Mitteldorf died on December 23, 1913.

In February 1914 it turned out that the Schleswig-Holstein Art Cooperative could not contribute to the construction costs of the exhibition building. The Altona artist association was now on its own. The name of the exhibition, Schleswig-Holsteinische Kunst , which had already been fixed at the meeting , was retained, as individual, selected members of the Schleswig-Holsteinische Kunstgenossenschaft were to be invited to participate in the exhibition. After the city of Altona had provided a guaranteed sum of 4,000 marks and the Royal Commerz Collegium 2,000 marks, 17,500 marks were available for the construction of the exhibition building, with which Curt Francke was commissioned. He designed a single-storey building in the neoclassical style with a gable roof and a small entrance hall accessible via three steps, the front of which was formed by a round gable supported by six fluted columns and a letter frieze above . The letters of the frieze in turn formed the name of the exhibition. Since the building was designed exclusively for the duration of the exhibition, it consisted only of a plastered wooden structure. The artists' association designed the official printed works for the horticultural exhibition, which was organized by the horticultural director Ferdinand Tutenberg . Wilhelm Battermann designed the poster for the city's anniversary, matchbox labels with the same subject and with building views as Altona landmark and four postcards to watercolor pen and ink drawings , the St. Joseph's Church , the Schröder'sche Palais , the old Altona Town Hall and the Heitmann'sche house to the Elbchaussee 302 showed. Carl Becker, Berthold Clauss, Johannes Magerfleisch, Adolf Möller and Fritz Peters-Weber expanded the artist postcard series with motifs from the Altona river bank , Altona fish market , Altona harbor and the Altona churches. In addition, a series of postcards appeared with black and white reproductions of the paintings that were on view at the art exhibition. Hermann Stuhr designed the honorary diploma for the horticultural exhibition and illustrated the guide through Altona written by Oskar Schwindrazheim and newly published by the tourist office . The art exhibition remained open for some time after the beginning of the First World War .

In December 1914, the artists' association organized a Christmas fair to support Altona artists and the war aid in the lecture hall of the Altona Museum, at which non-members also exhibited. Paintings, sculptures and handicrafts were exhibited. Ten percent of the proceeds went to war aid . In 1914 the association had 22 full and 15 extraordinary members. In February 1915, the association made the remaining artist postcards made for the horticultural exhibition available to the War Aid and the Red Cross . Until the association's Christmas mass in December 1915 in the Altona Museum, there was no further exhibition or gathering of association members, as some were doing military service, such as Berthold Clauss, Johannes Magerfleisch, Karl Spethmann and Joseph Tibor. Founding member Fritz Peters-Weber died on January 14, 1916.

In February 1917, the factory owner Carl Menck, who had been the association's treasurer since 1914, set up the association's office at Grosse Brunnenstrasse 78. The members met monthly or quarterly at different meeting places, also more often before planned events. Meeting places were among others in 1914 and 1915 the Hotel Prinzenhof at Bahnhofstrasse 24 (today Max-Brauer-Allee ), in 1918 Petersen's Hotel at Königstrasse 186-188 and in 1919 the restaurant of Hugo Topp's Elbschloss Brewery at Elbchaussee 374 in Nienstedten as well the social house of H. Pabst in the King's road 135th

In April 1917, the magistrate approached the association with the task of supplying drafts for a chain of mayors made of war metal as a replacement for the chain of office transferred to the war- financing gold collection . After an unsatisfactory result of a first competition within the club, a second one followed, which August Henneberger won. Also in April, the artists' association organized a spring exhibition in the Altona Museum, which also included a memorial exhibition for Fritz Peters-Weber. In a letter in May, Curt Francke suggested to the magistrate on behalf of the association that funds from the art fund be used for purchases from the exhibition. This in turn wrote to Otto Lehmann that the magistrate was making 2000 marks available for the purchase of local works of art. At the end of the exhibition the association had 26 full members. Another exhibition took place in the Altona Museum in December, but this time Otto Lehmann chose the exhibited works in the artist's studios because the museum paid the exhibition costs.

On April 5, 1918, the statutes of the association were drawn up, and on May 29, the entry in the register of associations was made by Curt Francke and Oskar Schwindrazheim at the Altona district court. Founding member Hermann Stuhr died on March 28, 1918.

Weimar Republic

In November 1918 the painter Hugo Schnüge was elected chairman of the association. From November 24th to December 31st, the artists' association organized a Christmas fair in the Altona Museum. The opening took place two days later, as the Workers 'and Soldiers' Council, which acted as government after the November Revolution, claimed the museum's lecture hall for one session. Otto Thämer designed the exhibition poster, which shows a man with a hat and winter clothes hurrying past from right to left, carrying a Christmas tree, a framed painting and small gifts with him. The managing director of the Altona printing house Köbner & Co. Friedrich Wilhelm Döbereiner, who was a supporting member, took over the printing of the poster free of charge. The exhibition was very successful: 90 of the 139 works on display were sold.

The second exhibition during the Weimar Republic , in March 1919, was the first exhibition outside of Altona. It took place in the art salon Louis Bock & Sohn in Hamburg, Große Bleichen 34. Much more successful than this exhibition was the following exhibition in the Altona Museum from November 15 to the end of 1919. From June 1921, the association meetings took place in Berthold Clauss' workroom in the crafts and arts and crafts school in Donner's Castle , as it was there that the association cost nothing, because the inflation also made itself felt in the association and its members. In 1922 a satisfactory sales result was achieved, but in 1923 the association lost all of its assets due to inflation and the currency reform . In the meeting of December 13, 1923, he decided to hold a large artist festival in order to have something in the club's treasury with the proceeds. The Hamburg artist festival, which has been held annually since 1913, was already a tradition in the neighboring town . Founding member Carl Rathjen died on December 23, 1919.

Hotel Kaiserhof in Altona, built in 1903, destroyed in World War II

The first Altona artist festival took place on February 2, 1924 under the motto Dr. Caligari and followed up with the film Das Cabinet des Dr. Caligari , in which painterly expressionism found its way into costumes and backdrops for the first time . The costume party was held together with actors from the Altona City Theater in the rooms of the renowned Kaiserhof Hotel on Platz der Republik , which provided rooms for the purpose free of charge. Willy Habl designed the exhibition poster as well as the invitation card and Wenzel Hablik dealt with the redecorating of the rooms. Ewald Egg, now chairman of the association, headed the party committee and Carl Menck took care of the finances again. The association members donated their own work for the raffle and each created a Caligari work for the Caligari art show . Of the 5880 Marks net profit, 2367 Marks were used to buy works by freelance members without regular income, which in turn were raffled off to supporting members as the already usual annual fees in December. An exhibition of the association took place in the Altona Museum in November and December.

Due to the financial success of the first festival, the second artist festival was held on February 21, 1925 under the motto In the tent of the Bimaschau in the Hotel Kaiserhof together with actors from the Altona city theater. Willy Habl designed the poster and the invitation card again and this time Wilhelm Battermann redecorated the rooms. However, there was no financial success. Only a surplus of 147 Reichsmarks was generated. At the association's first traveling exhibition in the spring of that year in Oldenburg in the Free State of Oldenburg and in Wilhelmshaven , only two oil paintings and graphics for 150 Reichsmarks were sold. Due to the bad economic situation, a deficit of 300 Reichsmarks was achieved in the subsequent jury-free art exhibition in the Altona Museum. Because of the economic situation, the association decided not to hold an artist festival in 1926. The traveling exhibition of 1926 in Wilhelmshaven, Oldenburg, Münster and Osnabrück as well as the spring exhibition and the autumn exhibition of 1926 in the Altona Museum did not achieve the desired success either. Two founding members died that year, Carl Becker on February 12 and Curt Francke on April 8.

The third artist festival took place on January 29, 1927 under the motto Die Rasende Arena in all rooms of the Hotel Kaiserhof . Erich Hartmann designed the invitation brochure and the poster. The decoration was entrusted to non-members of the association, chief building officer Georg Ramcke and the architects Rudolf Lodders and Heinrich Eggerstedt . In a revue, actors from the Altona City Theater played circus people under the direction of the Hamburg writer and publisher Conrad Kayser. Kapellmeister and ballet director Heinrich Paulsen composed the music. Due to the poor economic situation, the association did not hold an exhibition in 1927. In spring, the members went on a study trip to an exhibition by Edvard Munch in Berlin . After they gave Carl Menck a portfolio with silver mounting and 24 watercolors by various artists for the silver wedding in June, they also decided on an artistically executed portfolio with watercolors and graphics for the mayor of Altona Max Brauer on the occasion of the incorporation of the Elbe suburbs by the Groß-Altona Act of the members of the association, which happened in August. The cover sheet bore the dedication:

"In loyal admiration, the Altona artists hand over this portfolio to Lord Mayor Brauer on the occasion of the creation of the new Groß-Altona in admiration of his outstanding creative spirit."

As a result, the magistrate placed an order with the association for 15 portfolios, each with 10 to 12 watercolors, which exclusively show motifs from the incorporated suburbs of the Elbe. Such a portfolio in a parchment binding with silver mounting in the form of the Altona city coat of arms by Josef Arnold as well as a dedication by Max Brauer and ten watercolors containing it by Henning Edens , Max Stobbe, Johannes Magerfleisch, Wilhelm Mann, Edgar Ende and Karl Spethmann, arrived in 1982 through the art trade the property of the Altona Museum.

The fourth and last Altona artist festival took place on February 4, 1928 under the motto At the Underground in the Hotel Kaiserhof . This time, Wenzel Hablik alone took on the drafts of the invitation brochure and the poster, as well as the redecorating of the rooms. For dance pictures in which black-clad eye-beings moved in small marionette steps, Hablik had already practiced weeks beforehand with a ballet troupe in Hamburg based on his own choreographic designs and music by Kapellmeister Heinrich Paulsen. For the associated infernal art exhibition , each member had previously been asked to create at least two infernal works of art . A surplus could not be achieved this time because of several other festivals taking place at the same time. In addition to the Hamburg artist festival and the Altona artist festival , the first artist festival of the Hamburg Secession took place this year under the title Zinnober .

After several months of negotiations, the Hamburger Künstlerverband Kartell was founded on February 20, 1929 . The cartel was an amalgamation of all free artists in Hamburg to form an umbrella organization that aimed to influence legislation dealing with art and was also a professional representative. In addition to the Altona Artists ' Association, members of the association were the Hamburg Artists' Association , the Hamburg Secession , the Hamburg Artists 'Association , the Writers' Protection Association in Northwestgau , the Association of Hamburg Composers and the Reich Association of Visual Artists . The chairman was the writer Hans Henny Jahnn . Hans Martin Ruwoldt was elected to the board of trustees and the painters Paul Bollmann and Ewald Egg as representatives of the Altona artists' association in the cartel . In July, on the occasion of his 65th birthday, the painter Rudolf Höckner was made an honorary member of the artists' association.

On September 15, 1929, the large art exhibition Altona 1929 of the Altonaer Künstlerverein opened in a new exhibition hall built by Gustav Oelsner on Flottbeker Chaussee (today Elbchaussee ). The Lord Mayor Max Brauer, the honorary chairman of the exhibition, gave the opening speech in which he emphasized the uniqueness of the exhibition. The exhibition should give an account of the artistic work of Germany and the share of the city of Altona. Karl Schneider took over the execution of the exhibition and the managing director of the Kunstverein in Hamburg Hofrat Theodor Brodersen took over the management. 25 Altona dignitaries formed the honorary committee. Over 130 artists, including 28 members, with around 500 works gave an overview of the latest developments in art. Max Brauer used art lovers in Altona and Hamburg to donate cash prizes to particularly worthy artists in the exhibition. Cash prizes totaling 5,900 Reichsmarks were distributed to 19 mostly Altona artists. In addition, the Altona magistrate had provided 5,000 Reichsmarks to purchase works of art from the exhibition. Works by Paul Bollmann, Erich Hartmann, Willem Grimm , Kurt Löwengard and ten external artists were purchased. The painter Curt Singer (also Kurt , 1905–1938) received one of the cash prizes , from whom a work was also purchased. The final accounting for the exhibition showed a deficit of 3,000 Reichsmarks for the Altona artist association . In June 1931, a grant of 4,000 Reichsmarks was applied for as an additional permit.

Parallel to the exhibition, a protest exhibition took place at Schillerstraße 5 in Altona, in which works that had allegedly been rejected from the major exhibition were exhibited. In the Altonaer Nachrichten of October 15, the Altonaer Künstlerverein printed a declaration in which it stated that of the 25 exhibitors at the protest exhibition, nine were not involved in the supply of the large exhibition, while eleven exhibitors showed some very different works than they did rejected and one exhibitor also exhibited at the large exhibition, so that one could not speak of an exhibition of the rejected , as the exhibition was called on the exhibition poster. The artists' association evaluated this in the final sentence as "a misleading of public opinion".

The global economic crisis that began in October 1929 also affected the artists' association. Despite unfavorable sales prospects, an exhibition of the association took place in the vocational school center Haus der Jugend on the Republic Square from November to December 1930 , for which a catalog was also printed. 75 works by 18 artists were exhibited, but none of the works was purchased. In that year, the association's treasury management changed from Carl Menck to Senator August Kirch, who was responsible for social and cultural affairs . The office of the association was set up in its office in the Altona town hall .

From May to September 1931, the association's exhibition was extended several times in the Goßlerhaus in Goßler's Park in Blankenese . According to the exhibition catalog, 23 artists exhibited 136 works, but works were also exchanged due to the extensions. Although various works were purchased by the city of Altona, the exhibition ended with a deficit of 1,000 Reichsmarks. In the same year, the association decided, in addition to the municipal winter aid, to grant active members small support from the association's coffers in emergencies. With a view to the Langenhorn model , the Langenhorn stylus art association , elementary school teacher Andreas Sönnichsen founded the graphic arts association in Blankenese in 1930 . In mid-September 1931, the association had so far put six graphics each by the artists of the Altona artist association Willem Grimm (1930), Erich Hartmann, Kurt Löwengard and Paul Kayser for election. A selection of graphics by member Henning Edens was planned for October. In 1932 Paul Bollmann created five lithographs for the association and in 1933 sheets by Hans Martin Ruwoldt were available for election.

In 1932 the artists' association decided to largely suspend the association's activities due to the "very unfavorable times". Despite poor sales prospects, the association held a small exhibition from around September as part of the New Living exhibition in the exhibition hall on Flottbeker Chaussee . Oil paintings, watercolors and graphics were exhibited in a room in the hall. In that year the association's assets were only 1370 Reichsmarks.

German Empire 1933 to 1945

After the seizure of power of the Nazis because of a smear campaign Mayor Max Brauer and Senator August Kirch early March were on leave 1,933th Michael Brix was appointed for Max Brauer and Senator Hermann Saß for August Kirch. In the artists 'association there had been two groups since around 1925, one that was close to the Hamburg Secession or whose group members were members of the secession themselves and one that had distanced itself from the at least 11 members of the secession in the artists' association. The latter group initially seemed to sympathize with the new rulers. Henning Edens, Ewald Egg, Gustav Schmid-Goertz , Hugo Schnugt, Friedrich (also Fried ) Traulsen and Friedrich Westphal belonged to her. The secession members in the association included Carl Blohm , Lore Feldberg-Eber , Willem Grimm, Erich Hartmann, Ivo Hauptmann , Paul Kayser, Reinhard Lentz, Kurt Löwengard, Hans Martin Ruwoldt, Karl Schneider and Albert (Christian Friedrich) Woebcke (also Wöbcke ). In May 1933 Gustav Schmid-Goertz wrote to Wenzel Hablik:

“Like so many other things, the Altona Artists' Association is now at its turning point. The election of the board, which will be carried out in the next meeting, will show a new way for the association or it will be near its end. At the previous conference it was correctly recognized that we need a leadership in the association who is capable and willing to work with the new Altona magistrate and to stand up for the visual arts, and which appears to be worthy enough from the magistrate in to work their minds. ... The supremacy of the sensation-loving Expressionists must definitely be broken here too. "

At the meeting on May 2, before the election of the board, Schmid-Goertz applied for the association to be brought into political conformity , although the application was not on the agenda. The result of the subsequent vote resulted in a rejection of the request. "They refused to be surprised," says the log book. In the board election, in which the candidates Henning Edens and the Schmid-Goertz favored Hugo Schnünschte stood for election, Henning Edens was elected first chairman. Paul Bollmann was elected the second chairman and Reinhold Schaefer (also Schäfer ) the secretary. In a hectographed report on the meeting, Henning Edens had added a paragraph that was not in the record book:

“A consultation with a relevant authority at Altonaer Magistrat showed that it is by no means necessary that the board of our association is bound by party politics. There is also no political statement required by the association. As a result, there is no need to convene another general assembly for the purpose of new elections. "

It turned out that Edens and Bollmann were by no means involved in the plans of the National Socialists or their sympathizers. On May 8, Schmid-Goertz, Schnugt and Westphal wrote a “memorandum” to Senator Hermann Saß, in which, among other things, the art of the “secessionists” as well as Edens and Bollmann were discredited. In this diatribe it was alleged that the Altona art exhibition in 1929 was allegedly aimed exclusively at expressionist art. The Altona artists' association had shown "the public a show of works by Jewish sensationalism and intellectual kitsch" that had to hit every German feeling person in the face. "It went on:" We undersigned, some of whom are the NSDAP and some of the Kampfbund for Germans Culture are connected ... consciously. "In Bollmann coming it was said that he politically" have to fight the un-cultural direction of expressionism, which is the expression of Jewish intellect added is not reliable "because he the Hamburg artist club after, whose entry into the Kampfbund was the only one who left. It was also said, then about Edens, that he “fully supported the free activity of the secessionists and Jews in the association”. Finally, the senator was asked “the German spirit in the old too . To give KV the supremacy again. It would certainly not be right to wait and event. to intervene only at exhibitions. It is necessary that also in the old. KV will make the artists of the German conviction feel good again and create a collegial relationship together and strengthen the association with new members of their kind. "

Letters to Wenzel Hablik indicate that, after an interview on August 14, 1933, Saß initially did not want to do anything against the association. In the record book, however, in the report on the general assembly of the association of March 9, 1934, it can be read that the Altona magistrate had turned to Hermann Maetzig, the head of the regional office for North Germany of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts , so that he could regulate the association's relations with the magistrate . In agreement with the magistrate, the latter then appointed the painter and chairman of the Combat League for German Culture, Karl Wilhelm Göring, who was not yet a member of the association, as chairman, and Edens and Westphal as its employees. Westphal gave up the activity. Ewald Egg took his place.

Due to the Greater Hamburg Law, the city of Altona, which belongs to the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein, became part of the State of Hamburg on April 1, 1937 and lost its status as an independent city through its incorporation into the Hanseatic City of Hamburg on April 1, 1938. The Altonaer Artists 'Association was thus also a Hamburg artists' association and was now subject to Hamburg jurisdiction .

After the meeting on March 9, 1934, the artists' association met only once, on June 1, 1939, for a general assembly, which was also attended by a representative of the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts. Goering's efforts to revive the club's activities had been in vain in recent years. At Eden's suggestion, Goering resigned. Ewald Egg was then elected first chairman. Traulsen became secretary and Eden's treasurer. A new statute was also adopted, which corresponded to the standard statute for artists' associations decreed by the Reich Chamber of Fine Arts. In the sense of the Reich Citizenship Law , Jews or “ Jewish mixed race ” were no longer allowed to be members. The two Jewish members of the association had already emigrated to England at this point , Lore Feldberg-Eber to Cambridge on December 31, 1938 and Kurt Löwengard to London in May 1939 .

Federal Republic of Germany

As the last chairman, Ewald Egg received a request from the Hamburg District Court in February 1953 to register new association statutes and to have board elections carried out. Together with the other 14 members to be identified, it was decided to dissolve the association. On May 5th it was deleted from the association register. The district court appointed Egg as liquidator , who liquidated the cash balance of 200 German marks . The last list of members, handwritten by Egg in May 1953, contained 16 names, namely Josef Arnold, Egbert Baumann, Ewald Egg, Willem Grimm, Willy Habl, Erich Hartmann, Ivo Hauptmann, August Henneberger (founding member), Werner Kallmorgen, Wilhelm Mann, Hans Martin Ruwoldt, Reinhold Schaefer, Gustav Schmid-Goetz, Max Stobbe, Friedrich Traulsen and Albert Woebcke.

In 1955 at the latest, Ewald Egg gave the Altona Museum the log book of the artists' association.
