Prof. Otto Molden (13 March 1918 – 15 June 2002) was an Austrian publicist, federalist and author of various books about European identity and history.
His father was a diplomat, writer, opponent to the Nazi regime and later on founder of the leading Austrian daily newspaper Die Presse.
After World War II, he studied history at the University of Vienna and wrote his PhD on the Austrian resistance movement during the German occupation.
Politically, Molden was an active proponent for European integration and founded the Federalist International (FI) in 1959, which subsequently opened sections in Austria, Germany and Switzerland and other countries.
He was also active in defending the independence of Taiwan by founding a Committee for Chinese-European Co-operation in the early 1970s.
