Friedrich Fehr first attended the Munich Academy of Fine Arts (1878–84), where he studied under Alexander Strahuber and Ludwig Von Lofftz. In 1885, Fehr was awarded the prestigious Martin von Wagner Foundation scholarship, which enabled him to live and study for five years in Italy. 

In 1890, Fehr returned to Germany, settling in Munich where he co-founded a private painting school. Fehr became an increasingly influential and successful teacher including, from 1897, at the Karlsruhe Academy. As a result of his grounding in anatomy, he also taught the live drawing class of the Munich Artists' Association.

Over the course of a distinguished career, Fehr exhibited widely and with success and his works may be found in the permanent collections of national museums, including the Nationalgalerie in Munich and the Karlsruhe Museum. The artist is listed in all relevant art reference works, including Benezit and Thieme-Becker. After Friedrich Fehr's death, a bronze statue was cast in tribute to the artist and still stands above the Stephanplatz fountain in his hometown of Karlsruhe. More on Friedrich Fehr
