Versteigerungshaus Gerhard Harms - »Besitzen Sie Gemälde,...?«

Name: Versteigerungshaus Gerhard Harms

Owner: Gerhard Harms

Duration: Approximately 1910 to 1942

Business addresses: Prinzregentenstraße 2, Berlin (Wilmersdorf); Wildpfad 3, Berlin (Dahlem); Westfälische Straße 85, Berlin (Wilmersdorf)

Traces in the files: Conducted auctions on behalf of the Finanzamt Moabit-West (Moabit-West tax office) until early April 1941. Sold entire apartment furnishings. Probably in connection with the arrest of Gerhard Harms in March 1941 on suspicion of bribery, the Finanzamt Moabit-West distanced itself from the collaboration. Outstanding auction orders were taken over by the Union auction house.
