Happy homecoming

In recent months, several historical objects from the estate of the merchant family that once lived here have returned to the Knoblauchhaus: a portrait of Marie Knoblauch, who died at the age of 15, bridal jewelry from Elise Knoblauch (née Zelle), numerous documents, a punch set and rare cups from the Royal Porcelain Manufactory Berlin (KPM). What are these pieces all about, where were they hidden and how did they end up in the museum?
