from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Friedrich Freudenberger (born November 8, 1804 in Bern ; † March 1, 1862 there ) was a Swiss painter and draftsman .

Freudenberger was born the son of master baker Friedrich Ludwig Samuel Freudenberger. After attending the literary school, he learned the French language in Neuenstadt . When he returned to Bern, the painter Niklaus König taught him to draw; He completed further studies in Zurich and then in Munich . However, in 1905, the Swiss Artists' Lexicon noted that he "... never achieved anything special".

Freudenberger drew and painted “landscapes, jewels, flowers, coats of arms” and he wrote poetry. In Bern he was a private tutor and drawing teacher; during his time in Geneva he drew for the jewelry atelier of Jean-François Bautte and joined the Catholic Church. He then worked as a flower draftsman in a silk factory in Lyon.

Later Freudenberger traveled to Italy (especially in Sicily ), Greece, Turkey, Asia and Africa. In Constantinople he worked as a clerk, in Cairo as an educator. In 1860 friends made it possible for the completely impoverished to return to his hometown. He then lived in the Burgerspital in Bern and wrote humorous poems. In his estate in the Burgerbibliothek Bern there are “sketchbooks, literary works, travelogues”.
