Alfred Flechtheim opened a gallery at Alleestrasse 7 in Düsseldorf in December 1913 with the support of his friend, the art dealer Paul Cassirer. The following year Flechtheim entered military service and had the contents of his gallery auctioned on 5 June, 1917 by Paul Cassirer and Hugo Helbing. After World War I, Flechtheim opened a gallery at Königsallee 34 in 1919. It was temporarily managed by Gustav Kahnweiler before Flechtheim succeeded in winning Alexander Vömel as a member of staff to run the gallery in 1922. Vömel had completed his training as a bookseller in Frankfurt and was initially sent to Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler’s gallery in Paris for training. He was appointed director of the gallery in Düsseldorf in November 1926 and retained this position until May 1933.
