D\u00f6britz, the auction house is based in Frankfurt am Main. Driven by the desire to become an art dealer, the history of the house in Frankfurt's Westend began on the basis of many years of experience in the Munich art trade and the Frankfurt auction house Von Artus.<\/p>\n<p>Successful auctions and the continuously growing reputation of the house soon require more space, and so five years later the Frankfurt auction house moves into its new domicile in Braubachstrasse, in Frankfurt's historic city centre.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Generational change and continuation of an old tradition<\/strong><br \/>\nAfter 35 years of successful management by Wilhelm M. D\u00f6britz, a generational change took place at the beginning of 2002. Mr D\u00f6britz has placed the fate of the art and auction house in the hands of his daughter Anja.<\/p>\n<p>With a great deal of personal commitment and enthusiasm for art, the new young owner led the establishment into the new millennium according to modern and customer-friendly guidelines without losing the charm of the traditional house. She was her father's right-hand woman for over ten years. Having spent most of her free time in her parents' business from an early age, there was no question for her of working outside the art trade. While studying business administration in her home town, Anja D\u00f6britz gained international experience in the auction business through one-year internships at Christie's in London and Neumeister in Munich. She has been swinging the hammer at the auction desk since 1994.<\/p>\n<p>In 2007, company founder Wilhelm M. D\u00f6britz passed away at the age of 72. Since then, Anja D\u00f6britz-Berti and her team have been honoured and committed to continuing his life's work and preserving his memory.<\/p>\n<p>Three to four major auctions with a select range of items are held at the centre of the auction year. In order to offer the opportunity to shop at D\u00f6britz between the auctions, the open sale is held regularly between the auctions. This allows prospective buyers to choose from a wealth of beautiful things without being tied to an auction date. The view through the high windows of the beautiful sandstone fa\u00e7ade of the ground floor, which was spared from the Second World War, invites you on a tour of discovery. And all this in a central walking location in the city centre. The auction house looks forward to your visit at any time.<\/p>\n<p class=\"doebritzstandard_fliesstext\">For further information or enquiries please contact<br \/>\n<a href=\"mailto:adoebritz@doebritz.de\">Anja D\u00f6britz-Berti<\/a>Tel. 069 21 99 62 13.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1693490217015\"><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left  vc_custom_1693490288707\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.artloss.com\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey rollover\"   ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"127\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doebritz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Art-Loss-Register.png\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"Art Loss register\" title=\"Art Loss Register\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.doebritz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Art-Loss-Register.png 600w, https:\/\/www.doebritz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/Art-Loss-Register-300x64.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"  data-dt-location=\"https:\/\/www.doebritz.de\/en\/ueber_uns\/art-loss-register\/\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t<div  class=\"wpb_single_image wpb_content_element vc_align_left  vc_custom_1693490309730\">\n\t\t\n\t\t<figure class=\"wpb_wrapper vc_figure\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kunstversteigerer.de\" target=\"_blank\"  class=\"vc_single_image-wrapper   vc_box_border_grey rollover\"   ><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"127\" src=\"https:\/\/www.doebritz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/BDK.png\" class=\"vc_single_image-img attachment-full\" alt=\"BDk\" title=\"BDK\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.doebritz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/BDK.png 600w, https:\/\/www.doebritz.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/BDK-300x64.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\"  data-dt-location=\"https:\/\/www.doebritz.de\/en\/ueber_uns\/bdk\/\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t<\/figure>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-8\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h2>Memberships<\/h2>\n<p>The art and auction house D\u00f6britz is a member of the<\/p>\n<p>- The Art Loss Register<\/p>\n<p>- Federal Association of German Art Auctioneers<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tradition Experts Highlights Press Career Anja D\u00f6britz-Berti, Owner.
