Otto Geyer

From 1859 to 1864, he studied at the Prussian Academy of Arts, and worked in the studios of the sculptor, Hermann Schievelbein.

After 1891, he taught ornamental and figure modelling at the Technischen Hochschule Charlottenburg (now Technische Universität Berlin), succeeding Bernhard Roemer (1852-1891), who had died suddenly.

His students included the sculptor, Lilli Wislicenus, and the porcelain artist, Hugo Meisel (1887–1966).

He died shortly after retiring, at the age of seventy-one, and was interred at the Friedhof Wilmersdorf.

They include two large statues of female allegorical figures, representing Industry and Agriculture, and reliefs on the original façade.
