Alfons Fritz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfons Fritz (* 1861 ; † August 17, 1933 in Aachen ) was an Aachen high school teacher and local historian as well as a writer and theater critic .

Life

Little is known about Alfons Fritz's vita. He studied German and history in Münster . In 1886 he wrote a dissertation: On the source criticism of Dietrich von Nieheim's writings . This was award-winning and is in part still the state of research today. In addition to his job as a high school teacher at the Kaiser-Karls-Gymnasium , Fritz made a significant contribution to coming to terms with the history of Aachen and his high school in particular.

The historical focus of Fritz was on the processing of higher education in Aachen and here in particular the former Jesuit school in Aachen, from which the Kaiser-Karls-Gymnasium emerged. His work represents the best older school history in the area under investigation and Frank Pohle pays him the highest recognition in his dissertation for his careful and complete research. Up to the present day, Fritz has put an end to his research into the history of the Aachen Jesuits, to which hardly anything can be added today.

Another focus of his work was both in the meticulous processing of the development of the Aachen theater scene from the Old Comedy House for Theater Aachen and in his work on the Aachener school theater. Here it was especially the Jesuit dramas to which he felt obliged and whose presentation he was able to implement with the help of a broad knowledge of secondary literature and more recent information from Roman sources. Pohle comes to the opinion that the explanations of these plays written down by Fritz in historical journals often have to replace the original manuscripts that were destroyed or lost in the war.

In addition, Fritz worked as a translator of Latin texts into German. Among other things, he received an excellent translation of the Aachen school regulations in the version from 1720, which came to the archives of the Koblenz Jesuits in 1733 because of the reopening of a philosophical course.

As a member of the Aachen History Association , Fritz wrote numerous essays and was also an accomplished theater critic. With the title of high school professor and teacher i. R. died at the age of 72 on August 17, 1933 in Aachen and was buried four days later in the Burtscheid / Aachen hot mountain cemetery.
