from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Heiland (born February 5, 1870 in Potsdam ; died September 21, 1933 there ) was a German art collector and art historian.

Life

Paul Heiland was the only son of the upper-class entrepreneur Wilhelm Heiland and Clara Pignol, his father ran the Potsdam silk factory Pignol & Heiland. He attended Victoria-Gymnasium and began to study law, then studied art history in Munich and in Strasbourg with Georg Dehio . He then lived as a privateer in an apartment at Nauener Tor, which he stuffed with glass, paintings, drawings, graphics and antique furniture. In 1909 Heiland was a co-founder of the Potsdam Museum Association and one of the initiators of the Municipal Museum , in which around one hundred faiences, drawings, glasses and graphics from the possession of Heiland are kept.

Heiland's rented apartment was on the first floor at Nauener Tor

Heiland specialized in faience , and he owned around 3600 copies from over 43 factories. He was hoping for a faience museum, but it was never realized in Potsdam or elsewhere in Germany. Part of the Heiland faience collection was acquired by the Märkisches Museum in Berlin in 1925 , part of it by the municipal art collections in Nuremberg in 1928/1933 , part of it, including a collection of Berlin cast iron , went to the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, while Heiland bequeathed a large part to the Bavarian National Museum in his will , the Angermuseum Erfurt bought 300 pieces at an auction in 1935.
