Franz Josef Kohl-Weigand

Franz Josef Kohl-Weigand (born 26 December 1900 in Ludwigshafen am Rhein as Franz Josef Kohl; died 15 March 1972 in St. Ingbert) was a German businessman, art collector and philanthropist.

[citation needed] Franz Josef Kohl-Weigand was buried at the Old Cemetery in St. Ingbert on 20 March 1972.

[citation needed] Kohl-Weigand built up an art collection, which focused on the St. Ingbert artists Albert Weisgerber and Fritz Koelle as well as the Palatine artists Hans Purrmann, Max Slevogt[2][3] and Carl Johann Becker-Gundahl.

A further partial estate of the Kohl-Weigand collection is in the possession of the St. Ingbert city archive.

With Kohl-Weigand's son Ernst Heinrich (1932-1988), the fourth and last generation joined the company in 1953, which experienced its slow downturn at the end of the 1960s.
