History
The Städelschule was founded by Frankfurt merchant, Johann Friedrich Städel. In a deed dated 15 March 1815 he left his art collection and his money to establish a museum – now the Städel Museum – and for the teaching of art and architecture to suitable students.:322 The school is the only one in Germany to be funded by a city rather than a state administration. In 2007, the Städelschule received funding of €3.8 million from the city of Frankfurt.:322
Faculty
Many artists teach or have taught at the school. Among the current staff are Willem de Rooij, Peter Fischli, Douglas Gordon, Michael Krebber and Tobias Rehberger. Max Beckmann taught at the Städelschule during the Weimar Republic, but was classed as a "degenerate artist" and dismissed from his position under the Nazi régime. His work was shown in the Degenerate Art Exhibition of 1937.
