Margarete Eisenmann

Margarete Eisenmann (1868 – 1942) was a Jewish art collector and Holocaust victim.

Life Eisenmann was born in Berlin. Her father was de Wilhelm (Wolf) von Ledermann-Wartberg and her mother was Elise von Ledermann-Wartberg. She married Felix Samuel Eisenmann. The couple had one son, Günther Bernhard Eisenmann. Her father-in-law was Raphael Eisenmann. It was from him that she inherited the Lucas Cranach the Elder's painting, The Resurrection (1530). instated under the Nazi regime in 1938. The tax required German Jews with an annual income over RM 5,000 to pay 20 percent of their assets to the state. Eisenmann was arrested and sent to the Theresienstadt Ghetto in September 1942 and killed at the Treblinka concentration camp. Her estate was seized and auctioned off.

Eisenmann's son and grandson attempted to recover the Cranach. No other works from the family's estate are known to have been successfully recovered. Henschel died in 2007.

"The last time it was seen, it was hanging on a wall in Hitler's chancellery," he said in an interview with the Guardian a year before he died. . "This painting represents all that I lost."

A settlement was reached concerning the Cranach in 2021.
