In 1868, the drawing and painting school of the Verein der Berliner Künstlerinnen was founded as the first public institution where women received basic and systematic training in art.

The Secessionists Philipp Franck, Hans Baluschek, Ludwig Dettmann, Martin Brandenburg, Ulrich Hübner, George Mosson, and Franz Skarbina was connected to the artists' association as a teacher at the drawing and painting school and as an honorary member.

Well-known students included Paula Modersohn-Becker in 1896, Ilse Jonas until 1909 and lecturers Jacob Alberts, Curt Stoeving , Martin Körte, Ernst Friedrich Hausmann, Ludwig Dettmann, Max Uth, Jeanna Bauck, and in 1897 Käthe Kollwitz.

In the Allgemeine Kunstchronik Wien, Franz Hermann commented on her contribution to the 12th exhibition of the Association of Female Artists and Art Friends in 1890 in the Royal Academy building in Berlin:“A 'garden hall decoration' by Marg.

In this unpretentious little corner, executed in the finest way, there is a distribution of light, a solution of color contrasts, an atmosphere that all in all has a delightful effect.”[2]In 1900 Hoenerbach participated with five pictures at the "Woman's Exhibition, 1900, Earl's Court, London, SW" with the address in Zehlendorf, Potsdamer Straße 39.
