Ehemaliges Atelierhaus des Malers Karl Ballmer

1936 feierte das Ehepaar Ballmer in der damaligen Dorfstraße in Glinde das Richtfest zur Fertigstellung des Atelierhauses. Zu Gast war auch der junge irische Schriftsteller Samuel Beckett (geb. 13.04.1906, gest. 22.12.1989), der auf seiner Deutschlandreise den Maler und Anthroposophen Ballmer (geb. 23.02.1891 Aarau, gest. 07.09.1958 Lugano) in Hamburg aufgesucht hatte. Das von Ballmer selbst geplante Atelier wurde von Beckett hoch gelobt.

Der gebürtige Schweizer Karl Ballmer lebte seit 1922 in Hamburg. Kurz vor dem Richtfest, am 5.11.1936, heiratete er seine langjährige Lebensgefährtin Katharina van Cleef, die aus einer deutschen jüdischen Familie stammte.

Am 22.03.1937 erfolgte der Einzug der Ballmers ins Atelierhaus. Dieses Haus in Glinde galt als besonders schön und war „eine Art Refugium für alle Freunde moderner Kunst“.

Im gleichen Jahr erteilte die Reichskammer der bildenden Künste Ballmer wegen seiner Ehe mit einer Jüdin ein Berufsverbot. Damit war seine Existenzgrundlage in Deutschland vernichtet.

1938 verließ das Ehepaar Ballmer Deutschland und kehrte in die Schweiz zurück. Durch die Entrichtung der „Reichsfluchtsteuer“ waren sie nahezu mittellos geworden.

Im Herbst 1941 zieht Ballmer mit seiner Frau ins Tessin, wo sie sich ein kleines Häuschen mit Atelier bauen, das sie ihr kleines „Glindinella“ nennen.

1955 beschied ein Entschädigungsverfahren Katharina und Karl Ballmer eine materielle Entschädigung in Form einer Rente.

1957 eröffnete die letzte, zu Lebzeiten des Künstlers geplante Ausstellung von Werken Karl Ballmers in der Hamburger Kunsthalle. Im Jahr darauf verstarb Karl Ballmer in Lugano. Zwei Jahre später übernahm das Aargauer Kunsthaus in der Schweiz den künstlerischen Nachlass Karl Ballmers.
