Work by Alois Erdtelt is recorded in the collections of Hungarian National Gallery, Museum of Fine Arts, Budapest, Lenbachhaus, Führermuseum and Bavarian State Painting Collections.
He was born in Herzogswalde. His father was a tenant farmer. Thanks to the patronage of Oswald von Hoenika, the Rittergutsbesitzer (Lord of the manor) in Herzogswalde, Erdtelt was able to attend the Berlin University of the Arts, where he studied with Carl Steffeck. After 1876, he completed his studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, with Wilhelm von Diez. He remained in Munich and, until 1889, operated a private painting school for women. His students included Rosa Pfäffinger, Maria Slavona, Ida Gerhardi, Ivana Kobilca and Hedwig Weiß, among many others. After 1889, he taught at the Königliche Kunstgewerbeschule. On several occasions, he exhibited his works at the Glaspalast. He also had showings abroad; in Paris, London and at the Louisiana Purchase Exposition in St.Louis. His works may be seen at the Neue Pinakothek, as well as at museums in Hanover and Kaliningrad (formerly Königsberg).
