Max Liebermann was born in Berlin, trained in Weimar, spent some time in Paris and the Netherlands, and initially created naturalistic works.
He served as president and honorary president of the Prussian Academy of Arts and is today regarded as one of the most important figures of German Impressionism.
In July 1884, he courted the “beautiful Miss Martha Marckwald” in Bad Kissingen and presented her with a large bouquet of flowers every morning on the fountain promenade, as the future art critic Max Osborn reported.
Martha Marckwald and her mother were staying with their family and servants at the Grand Hotel Garni, which later became the Haus Collard.
Max Liebermann and Martha Marckwald were married in September 1884 and later lived in Berlin-Wannsee.
He died in 1946; she died from a Veronal overdose shortly before her deportation to Theresienstadt in 1943.
At Villa Müller, you won't find a front desk or a room key waiting for you at the counter. Instead, you'll find an apartment that feels like home right from the start.
