 On October 12, 1933, the liquidation of the association was discussed, which, however, many artists who were interested in the continued existence, rejected.At a further appointment in the Ministry of Culture, the board member Adolf Strübe managed to convince the responsible speaker that there had never been anti-state or political tendencies on the part of the artist community and that the association was loyal to the Hitler government.In April 1934, Ernst Barlach, Lyonel Feininger and Erich Heckel were elected to the community.
