Otto Wolff, a German industrialist with a Jewish partner (Ottmar Strauss) before the firm was aryanised. Wolff took over Strauss’s villa in Cologne and probably had a hand in the sale of his collection. Although his passion was for books, he did collect art, as did his son, Otto Wolff von Amerongen. The Art Loss Register has ascertained that there is no Sisley mentioned in the list of the father’s private collection held at the Otto Wolff Foundation in Cologne. (English)

At the Spa Conference of July 5, 1920, the Allied negotiators faced a battery of German representatives who were destined to figure prominently in the economic debacle of the late 1920’s and in the support of Hitler’s rise to power. In addition to the coal magnate, Hugo Stinnes, and Carl Bosch, slated to head the huge new I.G. Farben chemical combine, these leaders included Fritz Thyssen and his Emergency Committee of five other Ruhr industrialists; Gustav Krupp von Bohlen und Halbach and four other Krupp directors; Albert Vögler, director general of the Stinnes concern and member of the Reichstag; and two other noteworthy steel magnates, Florian Klöckner of the Klöckner combine and Otto Wolff, head of the Phoenix Works and the Otto Wolff complex. In retrospect, it was a Who’s Who in the rise of the Nazis. (English)
