Otto Ubbelohde (5 January 1867 – 8 May 1922) was a German painter, etcher and illustrator.

[2] From 1900 he lived in Goßfelden, nowadays a part of the community of Lahntal.

[1] Ubbelohde gained international fame for illustrating books of Grimm's Fairy Tales, 1906 and 1908 creating about 450 illustrations of fairy tales.

[3] He often took inspiration for his drawings from the landscape and buildings near his atelier and domicile in Goßfelden.

For Rapunzel's tower he used as a model a building in Amönau called Lustschlößchen, while in Mother Hulda the landscape is inspired by the Rimberg.
