Otto Christian Ludwig Lagerfeld (20 September 1881 – 4 July 1967) was a German businessman, who in 1919 founded the German company Lagerfeld & Co, which imported evaporated milk. He was the son of a wine merchant from Hamburg, Tönnies Johann Otto Lagerfeld (1845–1931) and his wife Maria Wilhelmine Franziska Lagerfeld (née Wiegels).[1] He married to Theresia Feigl in 1922; they had a daughter Theodora Dorothea "Thea" Lagerfeld (1922). His first wife died the same year of their marriage. He remarried to Elisabeth Josefa Emilie Bahlmann (1897–1978), daughter of the Catholic Centre Party local politician Heinrich Maria Karl Bahlmann, and they were the parents of Martha Christiane "Christel" Lagerfeld and of fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld.[2][3][4]

Otto Lagerfeld and his family belonged to the Old Catholic Church.[3]
