Friedrich Feher (born Friedrich Weiß, 16 March 1889 – 30 September 1950. Sometimes spelled with an accent as Friedrich Fehér) was an Austrian[1]actor and film director. He first entered the film business in 1913, starting out as an actor but quickly gravitating toward directing.[2]
He is perhaps best remembered as Francis, the protagonist of The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari (1920). He directed Das Haus des Dr. Gaudeamus (English: The House Without Windows) the following year, based on a book by Thea von Harbou, in which his art directors mimicked the Expressionist set designs of Dr. Caligari; it is now considered a lost film.[2]
Feher died in 1950 in Stuttgart at age 61.
