Lecture series on the art history of the Tiergarten district
The son of Oscar Huldschinsky, one of the richest Jewish entrepreneurs and important art collectors, grew up at Matthäikirchstrasse 3a. With artistic ambitions, he lived the everyday life of a bohemian and in the 1920s made a career as an interior designer in Berlin and beyond. At the end of 1938, after being imprisoned in a concentration camp, he emigrated to California, where he made a name for himself as a film set designer in Hollywood film studios, was awarded an Oscar for the film "Gaslight" and furnished the house of Thomas and Katia Mann in Pacific Palisades.
Thomas Mann described him as "one of the finest, most amiable, noblest people I have ever known". "I will keep a warm and honorable memory of our Hulle as long as I live."
Eva-Maria Herbertz, freelance author, lives on Lake Starnberg. Her new book "Endstation Hollywood. The life of Paul "Hulle" Huldschinsky (1889-1947)" was published in 2024.
