Louis Sussmann-Hellborn

Louis Sussmann-Hellborn received his training as a sculptor at the Berlin Academy of Arts.

His villa at Tiergarten was one of the most representative buildings of the district and made him famous within the educated society of Berlin.

In 1875 Arnold Bocklin bought Sussmann Hellborn's painting "Meeresidylle" ("Sea Idyll", aka "Triton and Nereid") for 10,000 marks (it was later at the National Gallery, and it's missing since 1945).

From 1882 to 1887, Sussmann-Hellborn was head of the Royal Porcelain Manufactory (KPM) in Berlin.

He died in Berlin and is buried at the Jewish cemetery Schönhauser Allee.
