Maria Lemmé (née Schwarzkopf, born October 3, 1880 in Odessa , † March 28, 1943 in Theresienstadt ) was a painter who fell victim to the Holocaust .

Life

Maria Lemmé was born as Maria Schwarzkopf. She was the elder of two daughters of the imperial councilor Moritz Schwarzkopf and his wife Pauline, nee. Fuerth. Her sister Olga was born in 1882 and died in 1911. Moritz Schwarzkopf was, among other things, consul of the Republic of Panama in Odessa. He died on December 2, 1916, was in Vienna at the Central Cemetery buried.

Maria Schwarzkopf received painting lessons as a child. She married Karl Lemmé in 1900. The couple lived in Russian captivity in Siberia from 1914 to 1918 . The two then moved to Stuttgart-Degerloch on Panoramastrasse, which was later renamed Ahornstrasse. Maria Lemmé studied with Adolf Hölzel and in 1933, a year before his death, published a book about him under the title Thoughts and Teachings (there with the first name “Marie”). Her husband passed away that same year. In 1942 Maria Lemmé was deported to Theresienstadt . The official date of her death is given as March 28, 1943.

In 1987 the Maria Lemmé Staffel in Stuttgart-Hoffeld was named after the artist, and in 2006 a stumbling block was laid in front of her former residence at Ahornstrasse 52. Many of Maria Lemmé's works were destroyed by the National Socialists . Margrit Timme planned to write the biography of Maria Lemmé in 2013.
