Margarethe Braumüller-Havemann was with her husband represented in the first general graphics catalogue, published by Reinhard Piper in 1904, besides etchings (R) and lithographic (L) prints representing artists who created pioneering woodblock prints (H): (first example, below left). The last two examples came to light in 2023. Since examples of her prints are so rare it is presumed edition numbers to be (very) low.

Dear print lover, passing-by visitor and reader:
While this new gallery-museum site is under construction (being build-up, stocked and arranged) priority must be given to first add all the represented artists in the index with works from the collection and if possible with the examples from the archives.
During construction the site is open to visitors, questions, feedback and suggestions.

Braumüller-Havemann, Margarethe
(Grabow/Mecklenburg 1877 - died c. 1955)
Painter, sculptor and printmaker. One of 6* surviving children of Friedrich Wilhelm Heinrich Havemann (b. Grabow 16-12-1838), owner of an international seed business in Grabow, and Therese Marie Lautrup (b. Flensburg 10-08-1849). He was the son of Wilhelm Havemann and Friederike Heidner.
See: Ritzerow, Antonie.
Student of painter and printmaker Ernst Neumann (1871-1954) in Munich. She married Philipp Georg Braumüller* (1870-1927). She moved to and worked in Berlin (1905) and later in Hamburg where she was appointed as teacher in the “Kunstgewerbeschule für Mädchen” in 1909. Exhibited, like her husband between 1900-1908, from 1904 in the Munich “Glaspalast”, in Berlin (“Große Berliner Kunstausstellung”) and in Bremen 1906. Worked for the magazine “Licht und Schatten”. She was a close friend of Ida Dehmel (1870-1942) and together with her co-founder of the “Bund Hamburger Kunstfreundinnen und Kunstfreunde” evolving in the GEDOK in 1927. Her subjects were: landscape, cityscapes of Hamburg and Berlin. Her work is collected in the graphic collection of the Folkwang-Museum in Essen.
Reframing a print titled “Uhlenhorster Fährhaus” the old backing board showed signs of previous use. It was used in the “Schwarz-Weiss Ausstellung” of and exhibition held in Berlin and Munich 1905 (No. 370: “Alte Frau, Schwarz-Weiss Zeichnung. 100 M., Frau M. Havemann, Hamburg, Hofweg 7). It also might indicate this particular print was in the possession or estate of Margarethe Havemann.
She is represented with 11 woodblock prints and with her husband Georg Braumüller (7 woodblock and 6 lithographic prints) together with some 60 female and 85 male graphic artists in the important 1904 “Catalogue of etchings, engravings and lithographs (chiefly German but including works by Austrian, Swiss, Dutch and English artists)” by Reinhard Piper.
