Alfred Fehse studied architectural drawing at Alfred Grenader’s school. He later worked for Grenader and designed many of Berlin’s U-Bahn stations. In doing so, he contributed to the disappearance of the partially ornate decorative elements that had once characterized these stations, allowing the spatial design itself to become the defining feature. He died in 1943, though the sources do not indicate the cause.
