According to the Nuremberg Artists’ Dictionary (2007), landscape painter (Johan) Max Kertz (1882-1949) lived here from 1940 until his death.¹

In 1906, Kertz became a master craftsman and registered as a decorative painter in Nuremberg. Between 1930 and 1932, he led the master classes for decorative painters there. However, his Jewish ancestry led to problems.  In 1937 he transferred half of his business and property to his sons, and in 1940 moved here to Bischofweg 6. His artistic activity was limited to odd jobs and painting alpine landscapes to make a living.

The banner at the top under the gable has been there since before 1970, as this photo from the Bavarian State Archives shows.

The lüftlmalerei of chamois on the front has been added since by Karl “Hermann” Gemeinhardt, whose specialty was painting animals.

Around the corner, an image of Saint Christopher which Hermann Bierl notes in his 2020 book, Garmisch-Partenkirchen und seine Lüftlmalerei, was also painted by Gemeinhardt.  (However, he also places it incorrectly at Hagenrainweg 6.)²
