She played a central role in several important art associations, including the Verein Düsseldorfer Künstlerinnen, of which she was later made an honorary member. Around the turn of the century, she reached the peak of her artistic career and public recognition, with Kaiser Wilhelm II acquiring several of her paintings. In 1929 - on her 75th birthday - the Düsseldorf Kunsthalle honoured Kröner with an outstanding special exhibition that paid tribute to her artistic legacy.
