Georg Röder's son, the painter Adolf Röder , ran after the reconstruction together with his wife Eva Röder (née Sendler) from 1950 as a restaurateur and gallery owner the "Galerie Palette - Röderhaus" (short: palette , notation also palette ) on the ground floor of the monument , with which the couple created a fixed point on the national art scene for many years in Barmen.

Both were co-founders of the Ring of Bergischer Künstler (group rbk), which was founded in 1946 and was chaired by Adolf Röders. Renamed in 1958 to Ring Bildender Künstler , the group existed until 1996 and was based in the Röders restaurant. From 1960, Adolf Röder's son, the chef and artist Helmut Röder , continued to run the restaurant.

The palette was of great importance for the visual arts in Wuppertal. The gallery showed works by international artists in four or five exhibitions each year under Eva Röder's direction. In addition, the house on Sedansberg was an artists' meeting place, studio, private museum, residential building, dining restaurant, but also a political meeting place. Johannes Rau , former Mayor of Wuppertal and former Federal President , as well as the former German Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher (constituency of Wuppertal-Barmen) also used the palette for political discussions during their terms of office . The journalist Eike Pies reported: “Rau was one of the many regulars on the range . He was only abstinent for a short time - as he himself has always liked to tell - after standing in front of the pallet door one night and wanting to put his house key in the lock. ”The 1957 dissolution of the All-German People's Party began at that time a table in the range , in which the future Federal President Gustav Heinemann was significantly involved. The then Foreign Minister Hans-Dietrich Genscher and his Czechoslovakian counterpart Bohuslav Chňoupek laid the foundation stone for the Wuppertal - Košice town twinning formed in 1982 during a pallet visit . The guests included professionals such as Heinrich Böll , Hildegard Knef , Justus Frantz , Charles Mingus , Otto Dix and many others.

“Actors and singers, painters and musicians, poets and journalists, politicians and entrepreneurs, managers and doers - they all met more or less regularly in the“ Galerie Palette - Röderhaus ”, the artist's bar of the Röder family of painters on the Barmer Sedansberg . As chairman of the group “Ring bildender Künstler” (group rbk), he (Adolf Röder) knew how to combine artistic activities with local, national and even international politics. Where politics reached its limits, he succeeded in the almost impossible: he had made his first personal contacts behind the Iron Curtain through art and artists since 1958 . Works by Polish, Hungarian, Romanian, Czech and Russian artists were exhibited for the first time after the war in the “Palette” in Wuppertal, while the works of the artists of the rbk group were exhibited for the first time in the countries of the Eastern Bloc. The multicultural exchange opened up new horizons, ”Pies continued.

In 1977, on Georg Röder's 110th birthday, the “Galerie Palette - Röderhaus” donated a prize named after him, the Georg Röder Medal made of bronze, for exceptional achievements in the field of fine arts.

The Galerie Palette has been managed by Marcel Thomas since 1995.
