Life

Fried Stern grew up as the fifth of six children in a Jewish - Christian home in Frankfurt am Main. His father came from a Jewish family in Lower Franconia , his mother came from the Frankfurt artisan milieu. During his school days he also attended the Städelschule , where he received art lessons from Heinrich Hasselhorst and Karl von Pidoll . After Stern had unsuccessfully applied to a foundation for an art scholarship , he began an apprenticeship as a lithographer and later in a wine shop , but broke off both training courses within a short time.

As a freelance artist, he mainly dealt with depictions of landscapes. Several study trips took him to Holland , England and France . On the occasion of an exhibition in 1911, the art magazine Der Cicerone Sterns praised landscape drawings and lithographs as “... of great intimacy of expression, always, even where mere sketches are concerned, of perfect visual effect, of broad, safe line technique and clever, economical Use of color. One can look forward to the further development of the artist, whom the success of this exhibition places in the first row of the Frankfurt artist community, with great expectation. "

Fried Stern's work as a book author began in 1913 with the publication of From the Diary of Robinson Crusoe. Verses und Bilder and continued in 1914 in Der Struwwelpeter von heute: A picture book for the great by Fried Stern . The latter is seen in the reception as an early critical examination of Struwwelpeter by Heinrich Hoffmann . During the First World War he was a soldier and was deployed in Romania. After being injured in the war in 1917, he was taken to a private hospital in Frankfurt am Main, where he processed his memories in the writing Heimat und Vaterland . From June 1924 to December 1932 he designed numerous programs as an author and narrator for the newly registered Südwestdeutsche Rundfunkdienst AG .

Fried Stern's last known place of residence in Frankfurt am Main was Neuhofstrasse 33 I in the Nordend district of Frankfurt in 1933 . During the National Socialist era , he was persecuted by the National Socialists because of his paternal Jewish descent . His whereabouts between 1933 and 1937 are unknown. From June 1937 Stern was registered in the Netherlands , first in Amsterdam , later in Schoorl and Aardenburg . From the end of January 1940 to March 1942 he was imprisoned in the Westerbork transit camp . After further stays in Amsterdam and Hilversum , his track in the Netherlands is lost in 1944.

In May 2018 a stumbling block was laid in memory of Fried Stern in front of his last residence on Neuhofstrasse in Frankfurt-Nordend .
