About Friedrich Eckenfelder
- Friedrich Eckenfelder (6 March 1861 – 11 May 1938) was a Swiss-German impressionist painter, best known for his portrayals of farm horses and for townscapes with a background of the Swabian Alps.
- He was born and raised in modest circumstances, but his talent was discovered at an early age, so that he was able to receive training as a painter and later to enroll in the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
- There he became one of the founding members of the Munich Secession. Eckenfelder's preferred choice of subject emerged early on.
- By 1878, at the end of his basic education, he was referred to in a document as an "animal painter".
- After the First World War and the resulting changes in society and art, Eckenfelder moved back to Swabia.
- He was named an honorary citizen of Balingen in 1928, a street was named for him in 1931, a gallery devoted to his work was established in the town museum in 1978, and the banqueting hall of the town community centre was named in his honour.
