Lyonel Feininger Gallery Quedlinburg

The Lyonel-Feininger-Galerie is a personnel museum founded in 1986 in Quedlinburg. It shows works by the New York Bauhaus artist Lyonel Feininger (1871-1956), which were saved from destruction by the Nazis by Hermann Klumpp, a fellow student of the Bauhaus in Quedlinburg. The collection, one of the most extensive closed holdings of graphics, etchings, lithographs and woodcuts by the artist, documents his creative periods from 1906 to 1937.
In 2006 it was transferred to the sponsorship of the Moritzburg Foundation – Art Museum of the State of Saxony-Anhalt in Halle and was already included in the Blue Book as a cultural memorial in 2003. Thus the museum is now one of the cultural beacons in the new federal states of Germany. Since 2014 the museum has been part of the Cultural Foundation of Saxony-Anhalt.
