Life

Friedrich Lutz, son of the brewery owner Gerhard Andreas Lutz and his wife Margarethe, b. Müller, attended elementary school and trade school. On August 9, 1881, he married Sophia Maria Herrmann from Heidenheim. He was managing director until 1881, and since then has owned the family business. He was a member of the district council committee, chairman of the agricultural district association and chairman of the Middle Franconian farmers association, of which he was one of the founders in 1885. The Middle Franconian Farmers 'Association was conservative in orientation, but worked at times with the more liberal Bavarian Farmers' Union . Lutz was initially a member of the Conservative Party and the Federation of Farmers . In the 1890s he was one of the main players in the conservatively oriented Association of Farmers in Bavaria.

From 1890 to 1898 he was a member of the German Reichstag for the constituency of Middle Franconia 5 ( Dinkelsbühl , Gunzenhausen , Feuchtwangen ). He belonged to the faction of the German Conservative Party in the Reichstag. From 1887 to 1905 he was also a conservative member of the Bavarian State Parliament for the constituency of Nördlingen in Swabia . Since 1902, Lutz sought to be close to the Bavarian Farmers' Union again. In 1904/05, Lutz broke with the Conservative Party over the question of electoral reform for the Bavarian state parliament. In the state elections in 1905, he was elected by the Center Party and the Bavarian Farmers' Union. When the entry into the state parliament failed, he withdrew from the political business for a few years. In the state elections in 1912 he stood for the Bavarian Farmers' Union and won the state parliament mandate for Nördlingen. He kept this until his death in 1918.

Lutz was of the opinion that the emerging department stores would be dangerous for farmers and the middle class and therefore demanded a department store tax. Lutz also represented anti-Semitic positions when making statements on this topic . A frequent target of Lutz's anti-Jewish verbal attacks was the department store owner Oscar Tietz . Lutz also called for a boycott of Jewish businesses. He had given up the brewery in Heidenheim at an advanced age and moved to Oettingen, where he also died.
