Otto Hunte
Otto Hunte (9 January 1881 – 28 December 1960) was a German production designer, art director and set decorator.

His early career was defined by a working relationship with fellow designers Karl Vollbrecht and Erich Kettelhut. Hunte's architectural designs are found in many of the most important films of the period including '' Dr. Mabuse the Gambler'', ''Die Nibelungen'' (1924), ''Metropolis'' (1927) and '' Der blaue Engel''. Hunte subsequently worked as one of the leading set designers during the Nazi era. After World War II, he was employed by the East German DEFA studios.
