Before she devoted herself to the works of the Rubens Prize winners, u Lambrecht-Schadeberg collected Impressionist and Post- Impressionist paintings . The realignment of her passion for collecting went hand in hand with efforts to re-establish a Siegen museum for contemporary art . In 1997, Barbara Lambrecht-Schadeberg founded the Peter Paul Rubens Foundation as the first female president. This made her a pioneer and patron of the Museum of Contemporary Art Siegen, which opened in 2001.
