In 1909, Loewenthal moved there. They lived together after 1914.[4][5] Sometime around 1925, they took an extended trip to China and Japan. She was a member of the Stuttgart Secession [de], and exhibited frequently until 1932.
In the mid 1930s, she became seriously ill. Loewenthal cared for her and kept her paintings hidden from the Nazis. Raabe's feelings about National Socialism were never openly expressed, although the fact that Loewenthal was Jewish would certainly suggest that she was not a supporter.
She succumbed to her illness in the resort city of Greifswald in 1938.[5][6]
