Emil Georg Buehrle

businessman Germany

Emil Georg Buehrle was a German arms dealer and art collector who became the wealthiest man in Switzerland during World War II. He amassed a significant collection of French Impressionist paintings, including works by Renoir and Monet, many of which are now housed in the Kunsthaus Zurich. Buehrle's legacy is complex, as his fortune was built on wartime profiteering, and his collection has been scrutinized for its origins, with some artworks believed to have been looted from Jewish owners.
