The painting ‘Steinbruch mit Hütte’ by Karl Hagemeister has been in the holdings of the Heinemann Gallery in Munich since 1912. According to the archive documents, it was taken from the inventory in 1926 by Theobald Heinemann (1860-1929), a member of the gallery owning family. The Hagemeister painting reappeared through his son Fritz Heinemann (1905-1983). From 1930, he ran the Galerie Hansen in Lucerne, which was closely linked to the Galerie Heinemann – he emigrated to Switzerland in 1938 due to anti-Semitic persecution. The work may already have been part of the Lucerne gallery's collection before 1933. According to Fritz Nathan (1895-1972), Fritz Heinemann offered it for sale on various occasions. In October 1944, Fritz Heinemann finally sold the painting in Lucerne to the Jewish art dealer Henri Heilbronner (1889-1971), also from Munich, who was living in Geneva at the time. Heilbronner consigned the painting to the auction at the Fischer Gallery in Lucerne in June 1945, where it was also sold.
