Life

Alphons Fryland was born as the son of Moritz Fritsch and Barbara Fritsch (nee Blaschke).

Fryland spent his childhood in Silesia and then attended the Export Academy in Vienna . From 1914 he studied music in Graz, Munich and Paris . After training as an actor with Karl Peppler , he served as a reserve officer in the 10th Dragoon Regiment until 1919 during the First World War . That year, director Fritz Freisler hired him to play the lead in the film Hunt for Happiness .

Since then he has appeared in leading and important supporting roles in many German and Austrian films of the 1920s and enjoyed considerable popularity at times. In 1932 he joined the NSDAP . Because he, as he claimed in a correspondence, had been disadvantaged by the Jewish producer Alfred Zeisler in assigning roles, he withdrew to Graz. Here he called himself Alphons Fritsch again and worked as a clerk at the district office.

He married Magdalena Stemann and had two children with her.
