Friedrich Eduard Fehr (24 May 1862, Werneck - 29 September 1927, Polling) was a German painter in the Historicist atyle.
He was born to Kaspar Fehr, a notary, and his wife Anna. He initially attended the Realgymnasium in Würzburg then, from 1878 to 1884, he studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich with Alexander Strähuber, Gyula Benczúr and Ludwig von Löfftz. A scholarship from the Martin von Wagner Foundation enabled him to make an extended study trip to Italy from 1885 to 1890.
Upon his return to Munich, he joined with Ludwig Schmid-Reutte and Paul Nauen to establish a private art school, whose students would come to include Emil Nolde, Clara Rilke-Westhoff, Hans Meyer-Kassel and Erich Kuithan , among many others. In 1896, when the Karlsruhe Artists' Association was founded, he became a corresponding member; promoting lithography and etching as necessary adjuncts to an artistic education.
In 1897, he married Berta Roloff (1868–1957). Later that year, he was offered a position at the Karlsruher Akademie. In 1899, after some consideration, he accepted their offer and became head of the painting class, which he oversaw until it was discontinued in 1923. His students included Wilhelm Hempfing, Margarethe von Reinken and Alexander Kanoldt. From 1904 to 1919, he also taught classes at the Malerinnenschule Karlsruhe (Women's' Art School). During this period, he expanded his own work to encompass interiors and genre scenes, in a style similar to the Dutch Masters. In 1915, he took a short leave from his teaching, to paint soldiers on the front lines.
After retiring in 1924, he and his family moved to Polling, where he died three years later. He was memorialized by the architect, Hermann Billing, and the sculptor, Hermann Binz , at the Stephanplatz Fountain in Karlsruhe, where one of the figures bears his likeness.

The State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart is a university in Stuttgart, Germany. Founded on 25 June 1761, and located since 1946 on the Weißenhof, the Academy, whose historical significance marks names such as Nicolas Guibal, Johann Heinrich von Dannecker, Bernhard Pankok, Adolf Hölzel, Willi Baumeister, Herbert Hirche, K.R.H. Sonderborg, Alfred Hrdlicka, Heinz Edelmann, Marianne Eigenheer, Richard Sapper, Joseph Kosuth, David Chipperfield, Joan Jonas, Micha Ullman, offers from all art universities in the federal state Baden-Württemberg the largest numbers of courses, namely all disciplines of the visual field, and not just in an organizational network but also under one roof. This is essentially the result of the connection of the former Academy of Fine Arts with the former School of Applied Arts in 1941 as Staatliche Akademie der bildenden Künste Stuttgart, which was reconstituted by Theodor Heuss in 1946 under the same name and which aimed at a broad training program as well as an intensified development in the following decades. Under the rectorate of Wolfgang Kermer, on 22 February 1975, the ″Gesetz über die Kunsthochschulen im Lande Baden-Württemberg (Kunsthochschulgesetz)″ passed by the Landtag of Baden-Württemberg came into force, which for the first time in the history of the State Academy of Fine Arts Stuttgart regulated the status and the essential relationships and which guaranteed the equality of rank with universities.

Damenakademies or Ladies Academies were painting and drawing schools for women in Germany. Until the 20th century, it was difficult for women to take up an artistic profession. They were usually denied access to the academies. While in Russia, women were able to study at the academies as early as 1871, however in Germany, it was not possible until the beginning of the Weimar Republic. Apart from the private studios of individual artists, there were only three large educational institutions available to women, and these only offered a limited range of courses. The three institutions were the Ladies Academies (Damenakademies) and were founded through self-help groups in Munich and Berlin, and the Artist Academy in Karlsruhe.
