Life

Wilhelm Busch influenced his illustrations, most of which were published by Braun & Schneider. His humorous satirical depictions of human behavior were best known. These were often carried out as anthropomorphizing animal drawings. Oberländer drew primarily for the Fliegende Blätter , an illustrated, humorous weekly paper. Later he also worked for the Munich Bilderbogen .

He created further illustrations for Franz Bonn's "Funny Natural History or Zoologica comica" (1877), "Every little animal has its little little bit" (1888) by Edwin Bormann and "O these children" (1894) by Georg Bötticher .

One of his most famous works is the series of pictures from the marginal drawings from little Moritz's exercise book , which were published between 1880 and 1900. The Oberländer album was released from 1879.

On behalf of the Cologne chocolate producer Ludwig Stollwerck, he designed collecting pictures for Stollwerck scrapbooks , etc. a. the series “Adventure of a Frog” for the Stollwerck scrapbook no. 4 from 1899.
