Ferdinand Fellner
Ferdinand Fellner and Hermann Helmer

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.[1] 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.
