About Otto Fedder

Lived 1873 – 1918 (aged 45). Otto Fedder was a German painter.

Otto Karl Heinrich Fritz Fedder (29 September 1873 in Schwerin – 7 December 1918 in Wildschwaige am Taubenberg near Darching) was a German landscape painter.

Fedder went to Munich in 1895, and studied painting at the Munich Art Academy under Wilhelm von Diez and Eduard Grützner. He painted almost exclusively romantic landscapes, mostly at sunset or moonlight, always in landscape format.

In 2019, Bavaria restituted to the heirs of Julius et Simone Davidsohn the painting by Fedder entitled Diligence dans les montagnes (Bayerische Staatsgemäldesammlungen Inv.-Nr. 12214). The Gestapo had confiscated it from the Davidsohns in 1938.
