After graduating from the municipal college in Halle (Saale) in 1926 , Frölich began studying chemistry and natural science at the universities of Bonn and Halle , which she completed in 1930 and 1932 with the association exams. In 1934 she received her doctorate at the Faculty of Natural Sciences in Halle on "The isomeric forms of p-phenetol-azoxybenzenic acid and its derivatives". In September 1934 she started working as a chemist at Degussa in Frankfurt am Main . From 1940 to 1943 she was head of the chemical department of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Animal Breeding Research in Rostock . From 1943 she worked in the chemical institute of the University of Göttingen and dealt with the publication of the book by her father Gustav Frölich (1879-1940), the founding director of the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Animal Breeding Research in Rostock, “Modern Breeding. Keeping and feeding pets ”. She moved from Göttingen to Frankfurt am Main in 1947, and from 1951 on she lost track of her.
