Margarete Vetter grew up as the daughter of a farming family with 4 siblings. Her mother promoted her early on with cultural activities.

  7. ^ Earlier than Lauter Rudolf Probst was an important art dealer in Mannheim, who dealt with works of classical modernism in Germany before and during the Nazi era. He opened his first gallery for classical Modern Art in Mannheim in August 1945, right after the end of the war, after working as an art dealer in Dresden in the Emil Richter art store (1918–1923) and managing the gallery "Neue Kunst Fides" from 1923–1933. His gallery, in which he had shown works by Emil Nolde, Lyonel Feininger, Paul Klee, Wassily Kandinsky, László Moholy-Nagy, Otto Dix, Max Beckmann and Oskar Kokoschka, was closed by the National Socialists in 1933. Probst acquired the Kunsthaus Tannenbaum from Herbert Tannenbaum (1892–1958) a short time later in Mannheim, but also came into conflict with the National Socialists here immediately. After an exhibition of Emil Nolde's works in the summer of 1937, Probst had to forego the presentation and public sale of art accused to show "degenerated art". The Kunsthaus was destroyed in air raids on Mannheim in 1943. From 1945 to 1958 Probst operated his gallery first in Otto-Beck-Straße and from 1949 in Mannheimer Schloss. Probst offered numerous artists of classical modernism after the war and succeeded in conveying important works to German museums.

The planning of this network goes back to Elector Frederick IV of the Palatinate from 1606 and has been preserved until today. This unique structure can only be compared to the later founding of Manhattan.
