Ferdinand Fellner

Fellner & Helmer was an architecture studio founded in 1873 by Austrian architects Ferdinand Fellner (April 19, 1847 – March 22, 1916) and Hermann Helmer (July 13, 1849 – April 2, 1919).

They designed over 200 buildings, mainly theatres and apartment buildings, across Europe in the late 19th century and early 20th century. Most of the work stood in the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, but can be found from Switzerland to present-day Ukraine. Frequent collaborators for integrated exterior and interior work include Gustav Klimt, Hans Makart, Theodor Friedl, and other significant artists.

Ferdinand Fellner was born in Vienna in 1847. He studied at the Vienna University of Technology, but abandoned in the first year to help his sick father. After the death of his father in 1871 he overtook his office. He died in Vienna in 1916.

Hermann Gottlieb Helmer was born in Harburg upon Elbe and died in Vienna.
