Eitel Friedrich Schilling from Cannstatt
Eitel Friedrich "Fritz" Freiherr Schilling von Cannstatt (born April 1, 1904 in Mannheim or Annaberg, Godesberg; † July 25, 1997 in Mannheim ) was the founder and first license holder of Mannheimer Morgen .
His father was Lieutenant Colonel Friedrich von Schilling (1869–1962).
Schilling wanted to become a writer, but assessed his talent only as mediocre and initially learned a businessman. In 1932 his self-confidence had grown and he devoted himself to writing. After 1933 he became a member of the Reichsschrifttumskammer (No. 13,999). His manuscript “Stroll on Torresstrasse” was rejected by the Reich Press Office and the Völkischer Beobachter because it was too long.
At the end of June 1946 he and Oskar Hörrle received the license to produce the newspaper Der Morgen , which was renamed Mannheimer Morgen in October . Hörrle had to get out again in August.
In 1962 he adopted Rainer Zintgraff (* 1935), who had been running the newspaper since 1984.
