Otto Bartels (Schwaan 04.12.1874 - 1958 Rostock)
was born in Schwaan in 1874. Rudolf Bartels' brother learned wood sculpting in Rostock and later worked with his brother Carl on various stucco projects using plaster and mortar, including the Bavarian Parliament in Munich and the Imperial Court in Leipzig. After the First World War, he attended the Hanover School of Arts and Crafts and the now Weimar State Academy of Fine Arts, majoring in portrait painting. Based in Rostock from 1917, he died in 1958.
