The fate of this extraordinaire house is inextricably linked with the fate of a unique person who quickly became rich but tried to become happy for a very long time. Martin Peller studied in Venice with the Nuremberg merchant Karl Unterholzer. When Carl went bankrupt in 1580, Bartholomew Viatis bought his debts from Venetian merchants. He "acquired" with the obligations Martin Peller. Since 1581, Peller worked as a sales clerk for Viatis, and in 1588 he became consul at Fondaco dei Tedeschi. Two years later, in 1590, he married the daughter of his employer, Maria Viatis. Already in 1585, Emperor Rudolph II proclaimed Martin Peller, a peer. Founded in 1591, the Viatis Peller Society was involved in barter trade, credit and exchange transactions, and arms trading. In 1596, Peller received Nuremberg citizenship. Despite the high economic successes, Martin Peller was unable to gain political influence in Nuremberg. Although he had been on good terms with the “Great Council” since 1597, adoption in the politically decisive “Inner Council” remained impossible.
