Art collection stolen from private bank
Works of art worth several hundreds of thousands of euros have been stolen from a German private bank.
Thieves made off with works by well known German artists including Carl Spitzweg, Paula Modersohn-Becker and Gabriele Münter (pictured) at the Düsseldorf-based private bank Bankhaus Lampe.
A spokeswoman for the bank said a reward is on offer for information leading to the return of the works of art.
Reports in the German press said the police investigating the theft found no evidence of a break in at the private bank and were mystified at how it happened.
Bankhaus Lampe is owned by the Oetker Group, a holding company controlled by one of Germany’s wealthiest families.
