Josef Feinhals (1867–1947), aka Collofino, was a German cigar and cigarette maker, patron of the arts, and writer from Cologne.
[1][4] His company also supported individual artists, such as his friend, the poet Johannes Theodor Kuhlemann (1891-1939), who had worked for eight years in Feinhals's "tobacco museum.
[7] Hesse made a number of (sometimes oblique) references to him and the antiquarian anecdotes he had collected in Die Geschichten des Collofino, a book privately published in 1918.
"[17] Feinhals lived in a villa designed by Joseph Maria Olbrich, built 1908-1909, completed by Bruno Paul,[18][19] and destroyed in World War II.
[20] Artworks in collection included Ernst Kirchner's Das Boskett, which was seized by the Nazis as "Degenerate Art" after Feinhals donated it to the Wallraf-Richartz Museum in Cologne.
