THE HISTORY OF THE KRONBERG PAINTER'S COLONY The painter's colony in Kronberg was one of the most earliest of the German painter's colonies of the 19th century. Altogether 60 artists worked, over several years, in the Kronberg painter's colony including such well known names as Wilhelm Trubner, Jakob Furchtegott Dielmann, Hans Thoma or Carl Morgenstern. Anton Burger's, move to Kronberg, more than 150 years ago, in 1858, is associated today with the foundation of the Kronberg artist's colony. The fluctuation in the colony at times closely resembled our present day cultural tourism.
