Otto Bernheimer
Otto Bernheimer (1877 – July 5, 1960) was a German collector of art and an antique dealer.
== Life ==
Otto Bernheimer, born in 1884, was the son of the royal Bavarian court supplier Lehmann Bernheimer (1841-1918) who started the trading business in Munich in 1864. With his two brothers, Max and Ernst (1875-1956), Otto traveled to many European countries in search of fine art. Bernheimer’s customers were European aristocrats, financiers, diplomats, and artists. They included the Krupp family and William Randolph Hearst. Bernheimer offered not only exclusive pieces, but also complete room amenities to its customers.
After the death of his father in 1918 Otto took over the company in its second generation, due to the difficult economic situation the business was suffering. After the Machtergreifung 1933, the business volume increased because of the demand for prestige items. In the Kristallnacht in 1938, the shop windows were smashed and Otto Bernheimer was imprisoned in the Dachau concentration camp. Through the intervention of the Mexican government - Bernheimer was Honorary Consul of Mexico - he and his sons were released. The family emigrated across the whole world. Otto Bernheimer was forced to purchase a rundown coffee plantation in Venezuela from a relative of Hermann Göring. The Aryanization of "Art Dealer Otto Bernheimer" (later the "Munich art market society" and "camaraderie of artists") led to the confiscation of all property including a collection of German and French paintings from the 19th century.
