Zusammenfassung:The article describes the sale of Jacques and Emma Rosenthal’s private art collection by the Kunsthandlung Julius Böhler during the Nazi regime. The antiquarian bookshop Jacques Rosenthal, founded in 1895, had been located in the immediate vicinity of the Kunsthandlung Julius Böhler since it moved to Brienner Strasse in 1911. When the Rosenthal family was forced to sell the residential and commercial building and the antiquarian bookshop in 1935, Böhler took the art possessions and some of the furniture of his long-time business partner and neighbour on consignment. Ultimately, however, the majority of the objects were offered for sale at auctions held by Adolf Weinmüller’s Munich art auction house, in which Julius Harry Böhler was a silent partner. Thanks to the wealth of art trade sources, the sale of the collection in the Munich art trade under growing pressure and existential hardship can be traced precisely. Finally, the article examines the question of how the sales should be assessed from today’s perspective and what role the art dealer Julius Harry Böhler played in them.
