Moritz Kraemer (1859–1926) probably lived in Leipzig between 1913 and 1924. A director of Dresdner Bank, he came from what was then Silesia. He amassed a large art collection and was closely associated with the MdbK. Shortly before his death in 1926, he relocated to Lucerne, possibly for health reasons. He bequeathed the majority of his collection, comprising over 60 paintings, sculptures, and works on paper, to the museum. His family members were persecuted and murdered under National Socialism. We know very little about the biography of this important patron.
