Eugen Moritz Buchthal (1878–1954) was an enthusiastic collector of contemporary art. As Jews, he and his family were persecuted by the National Socialists and successively emigrated to London in the years 1934 to 1938. In 1936 Buchthal consigned numerous graphic works from his collection to the Nierendorf Gallery in Berlin, some of which were acquired by the Kupferstichkabinett. These have now been returned.The Stiftung has bought back the etching "Houses on Fehmarn with Large Tree" (1908) by Ernst Ludwig Kirchner for the Staatliche Museen’s Kupferstichkabinett. (English)
