Biography

Fedde studied natural sciences, commencing in 1892 and graduating in 1896 in Breslau. He was a teacher in schools of higher learning in Breslau, Tarnowitz and Berlin. He became an associate at the Berlin Botanical Museum in 1901 and a professor there in 1912. He participated in several collecting trips to the Mediterranean, Finland and South Russia. Fedde's main work dealt with plant systematics and biogeography.
