Rudolf Feyler lived and worked in Riga until the Baltic Germans were resettled in 1939. As a young man he lived temporarily in Poland, where he met his wife Stefanie. As a result of the resettlement following the Hitler-Stalin Pact , he ended up in the Warthegau intended for the Baltic Germans .

Here his track is lost. Another picture from 1944 "View of Riga" is known.
