history: In 1977 Manfred and Christel Lammel (both born in Germany in 1943) opened an art gallery in Bad Münstereifel, Germany. Fascinated by the richness of Jewish culture and aware of the vulnerability of Jewish patrimony in post-war Germany the couple aimed to combat ignorance regarding Judaism via art. Inspired by a journey to Israel in the early 1970s Christel and Manfred Lammel created a unique network, consisting of contemporary Jewish artists from Israel, Germany, Belgium and France, whose work they presented to a broad audience. Galerie Lammel became a home away from home for Jewish artists such as painter and etcher André Goezu, who was born in Belgium but who lived in France.

In 2009 Galerie Lammel closed its doors permanently. Manfred Lammel passed away on 26 October 201…
