The collection was first displayed in Städel’s former living quarters at Roßmarkt. A legal dispute over his will hindered the institution’s work until 1829. Under Johann David Passavant, the museum acquired works including a portrait by Sandro Botticelli and parts of the collection of Wilhelm II of the Netherlands. Georg Swarzenski later added French Impressionists and contemporary works by Franz Marc and Max Beckmann.
