- Albert and his wife Klara Reimann founded the highly regarded Reimann Schule in Berlin in 1902 but as Jewish people were forced by the National Socialists to sell the school in 1935. They came to London in 1936 and quickly opened a new school at 4 to 10 Regency Street called The Reimann School and Studios of Industrial and Commercial Art. Established in January 1937 by Albert Reimann and his son, Heinz Reimann, it had five departments: exhibition and display design, commercial art (graphic design and posters etc), fashion and dressmaking, photography, and fine arts and crafts. The School's first Principal was the poster artist Austin Cooper (see E.1837-1931). Other notable teachers included the Welsh painter and printmaker Merlyn Evans (see E.4872-1960), Eric Fraser (see E.3922-1983), and Leonard Rosoman (see E.1830-1991), who taught drawing, painting and perspective. Richard Hamilton worked in the School’s display department in 1937 as a teenager, later becoming a leader in the Pop Art movement. Edward McKnight Kauffer and Marion Dorn also lectured occasionally at the school. It was closed as the Second World War broke out and in 1941 the London premises were destroyed by bombing. The same fate befell the Reimann Schule in Berlin in 1943. Despite their illustrious history and teaching reputation, unfortunately neither branch recovered to reopen in the postwar period.
