In 2008 the Stichting tot Beheer Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Foundation received a letter written on behalf of the heirs of the German collector Prof. Dr Alfred Pringsheim (1850-1941), the owner of a celebrated collection of Italian maiolica, from which seven pieces were acquired by the collector J.N. Bastert in 1941 and that are now in Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen. The heirs asked the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen Foundation, which was the owner of the objects, to return them. The museum responded by proposing that the question be jointly submitted for a binding opinion to the Advisory Committee on the Assessment for Items of Cultural Value and the Second World War (the Restitutions Committee).
Dr. Alfred Pringsheim (1850-1941), Munich. Confiscated by the Nazi authorities on 21 November 1938 as part of the Pringsheim Collection. Sold to the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum, Munich in 1941 for 121,200 Reichsmark. Transferred by the Bayerisches Nationalmuseum to the main Collecting Centre in Wiesbaden in 1946.

Alfred Pringsheim was a German Jewish collector. During Kristallnacht, in November 1938, the SS seized Pringsheim's maiolica collection from his home in Munich. It was stored in the annex to the Bayerishches National Museum, Munich. In March 1939, the German Ministry of Trade authorized export of Pringsheim's maiolica collection to London for auction at Sotheby's, provided that 80% of the proceeds up to £20,000 and 70% of the remainder be paid to the German Gold Discount Bank in foreign currency. Pringsheim was to receive the remaining proceeds. In exchange, Pringsheim and his wife were allowed to emigrate to Switzerland. After the war, the Pringsheim heirs received restitution of the sale proceeds paid to the Reichsbank.
In 1934, all civil servants, including emeriti, were required to take an oath of allegiance to the new government. Alfred Pringsheim declined to do so and so lost his emeritus status and a third of his pension [11, pp. 203–204]
After the war, the Pringsheim heirs received restitution of the sale proceeds paid to the Reichsbank pursuant to a settlement agreement with the German government. Minutes of a closed session of the Reparation Claims Office I for Upper Bavaria, Munich, March 11, 1955.
Mit der sogenannten Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten verschlechterte sich die Lage der Pringsheims rapide. 1933 nahm die NSDAP der Familie das Palais weg, um an dessen Stelle später ein Verwaltungsgebäude zu errichten.
