==Early life== Kahnweiler was born in 1884 in [[Mannheim]], [[Grand Duchy of Baden|Baden]] to a prosperous Jewish family.<ref name="patrons">DANIEL-HENRY KAHNWEILER β. (21 September 2017). PATRONS. https://patrons.org.es/kahnweiler-daniel-henry/</ref> His family had previously moved from [[Rockenhausen]], a small village in the [[Palatinate (region)|Palatinate]]. Kahnweiler grew up in [[Stuttgart]] and was trained to study finance and philosophy.<ref name="patrons"/> His upbringing and education at a German [[Gymnasium (school)|Gymnasium]] prepared him for his life as an art connoisseur and pragmatic businessman. Early employment in the family business of [[Stockbroker|stock brokerage]] in Germany and Paris gave way to an interest in art collecting while Kahnweiler was still in his twenties. He opened his first small art gallery (4 by 4 meters) in Paris in 1907 at 28 rue Vignon, at age 23.<ref name="patrons"/> There was a family precedent for such an enterprise, since his uncle, who ran a famous stock brokerage house in [[London]], was a major art collector of traditional English art works and furniture.<ref name="JR" />
