history

From 1916 to 1919 Wilhelm Alfred Remmler worked as an authorized signatory in the Galerie Del Vecchio in Leipzig.

Remmler Gallery

On September 15, 1919, Alfred Remmler opened his own gallery at Tröndlinring 3, on the ground floor at the corner of Nordstrasse, in the Mitteldeutsche Privatbank building . The exhibition catalog for the opening exhibition in the autumn of 1919 contained 312 exhibits and also advertised a “rich stock of graphics by the first masters”. The entry in the commercial register as a sole trader is dated October 8, 1919. At the end of January 1920, the Remmler & Co. gallery showed an exhibition of paintings by Max Pechstein . The Remmler gallery offered works by older and contemporary masters such as Anselm Feuerbach , Carl Spitzweg , Max Liebermann , Max Slevogt , Emil Orlik , Max Rabes , Arnold Lyongrün and Käthe Kollwitz .

Erich Kästner reported in the Neue Leipziger Zeitung and Leipziger Tageblatt about an exhibition in the Remmler gallery with watercolors, graphics and drawings by Josef Hegenbarth in 1924 and in 1925 about an exhibition of paintings by Wilhelm Georg Ritter in the Remmler gallery and about a simultaneous exhibition in the Graphisches Kabinett Dehne & Remmler with “valuable works, especially from the younger generations: Pechstein, Liebermann, Orlik, Kollwitz, Kolbe, Klinger , Meid - especially Hans Meid ”. Two special exhibitions are from 1926 Max Frey and Georg Siebert known.

Graphisches Kabinett Dehne & Remmler

In 1925 the companies Graphischer Verlag Friedrich Dehne and Moderne Galerie Remmler merged at the Tröndlinring 3 location under the name Graphisches Kabinett Dehne & Remmler . In 1938 the Graphisches Kabinett Dehne & Remmler moved to Pfaffendorfer Straße 2. In 1940 the company can be found at 6 Körnerplatz. Then the traces are lost.
