Life
Hilde Ferber was born in 1901 as the first child of the Wetzlar master painter Christian Ferber and his wife.

On October 1, 1925, Ferber was employed as a senior teacher for art education at the Auguste Viktoria School in Bielefeld .
The 1934 meeting with Wilhelm Stählin and the Berneuchen movement to which she belonged from then on was decisive for her artistic work .

Hilde Ferber returned to Bielefeld as a student teacher in 1954 and worked at the Ceciliengymnasium Bielefeld until her retirement in 1962 .
She designed her glass windows in representational and abstract form. Since the mid-1950s, she mainly worked in the grisaille technique, but also dealt with concrete glass . In addition, Hilde Ferber created tempera pictures , watercolors, landscapes and portraits.
