Hermann Teuber from Dresden, a student of Karl Hofer at the Berlin Art Academy and one of the most prominent German painters of the interwar period, moved to Kalkar in 1943 due to the increasing bombing of Berlin.
He was based there until his appointment as professor of printmaking at the Berlin University of the Arts in 1950.
He taught in Berlin for eleven years and spent his productive retirement in Upper Bavaria and Munich.
From 1948 onwards, he became a guiding inspiration for the van der Grinten brothers’ collecting activities.
It was he who advised them to collect not individual works by an artist, but entire groups of works; he drew their attention to Joseph Beuys and Rudolf Schoofs.
