Provenance
The exact origin of the object is no longer traceable due to the lack of biographical information on the individuals who donated it. The collection was handed over to the Linden Museum in December 1940 by the police captain Mauermann on behalf of Erfried Lüpke. The latter was the brother of the previous owner, Hellmuth Lüpke, who died in November 1940. Text: Christoph Rippe.
