Otto Feick (4 July 1890 in Reichenbach – 17 October 1959 in Schönau an der Brend) was a German inventor and gymnast.
[2] In 1921, Feick was charged with obstruction and subsequently put in jail by the French troops occupying the Palatinate.
While he was in jail in Mainz, he recalled that during his childhood in Reichenbach, he had connected two iron hoops with cross-bars he had found in his grandfather's blacksmith's shop and used this construct to roll down the hill next to his parents' house.
After his expulsion from the Palatinate by the French occupation forces in 1923, he moved to Schönau an der Brend, a town in the Rhön Mountains in Bavaria and his wife's hometown.
From 1925 to 1926, he developed a further variant of his invention in the Zieh- und Stanzwerk ("Drawing and Stamping Factory") in Niederscheden.
