Frits Fronz

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich "Frits" Oskar Fronz , as a stage actor also led by Fritz Fronz , as singer and film actor Frank Roberts and as screenwriter Marcel Troussant , (born May 9, 1919 in Vienna , † August 29, 1990 in Klosterneuburg ) was an Austrian theater actor , author , Singer , organizer of major events, film actor , screenwriter , producer and director of erotic films as well as Green politician , one of the most colorful personalities in Austria's post-war period.

Live and act

The son of Oskar Fronz Sr. is one of the forgotten people in the German-speaking film industry, although for a time he was known as the Austrian Walter Boos or Eberhard Schroeder with his early erotic film productions . Accordingly, only a few biographical and sometimes false information, because Fronz circulated it, have come down to us. It is certain that after attending the Max Reinhardt Seminar in his hometown of Vienna shortly after the outbreak of the Second World War, he belonged to the Burgtheater ensemble for the entire remaining war years up to the closure of all German theaters in the summer of 1944 by the Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels , only interrupted in the 1942/43 season when he temporarily had to serve in the Wehrmacht.

When Fronz applied for a variety concession from the municipality of Vienna in 1947, this application was rejected because, as it was said, he was "a member of the former NSDAP., Local group propaganda leader of the Viadukt local group and member of the SA". Fronz, who had even claimed to have belonged to the Austrian resistance in 1944/45, denied this. However, he was not issued a license. In the following years, Fronz found it difficult to get into the theater and cultural scene in his country; further theater activities (which he claimed) cannot currently be proven. Instead, he worked from 1955 to 1965 with only moderate success as a pop singer (" Maloja", "Look at your friends well ") and improved his income with stories that were published in dime books. Encouraged by composer Paul Milan in 1964 during the Vienna International Garden Show in the Donaupark (WIG), which Fronz helped organize, to give it a try in the film business, Fronz made another career change and tried to profit from the wave of sex films that was rampant across Europe.

First he made his debut as an actor in the same year 1964 under his already established artist name Frank Roberts in Milan's early nudist film " The Girl with the Mini ". From 1967 onwards, Fronz staged sex and erotic films in Austria with minimal budgets, with promising titles such as "Sexkarussell - Via Erotica", Total versext and " Roulette d'amour ", and which clung to the gout of greasy old man's imagination. With his brief oeuvre, Fronz and Eddy Saller are considered to be the founder of trash and erotic cinema in Austria in the 1960s. “Milan's GIRL WITH THE MINI and Fronzen's own ROULETTE D'AMOUR are, as a result, horny, sunny, half-improvised bungling works in which Fronz navigates his withered body through all sorts of naked women opposed to him and puffs to himself pensive while a picture book Vienna like old postcards that have been colored in by the past. "

The short-lived directing career of the sex film expert Friedrich "Frits" Fronz ended as early as 1972, and he turned back to other fields. The City of Vienna commissioned him, ten years after the first Vienna Garden Show, to take part in the organization of the 1974 Garden Show. Friedrich Fronz was entrusted with running the amusement park integrated into the garden show with the recreation and event exhibition company he founded for this purpose (EVA GmbH, later AVG). Obviously, despite Fronzen's self-praise, things went wrong in the organization, so that he was dubbed a "WIG bankrupt" in the press. Around the same time Fronz was obviously committed to ecological politics in Austria, but the founding of one of the various "green" parties in Austria in the 1970s, as he claims, cannot be proven. On the other hand, it has been confirmed that Fronz was a member of the municipal council of his hometown Klosterneuburg near Vienna from 1980 until his death in 1990. In 1982/83 he finally published a magazine that was initially called “Green Middle Austria for Vienna, Lower Austria and Burgenland” and later “Green Austria”. A little later he was looking for a new field of activity. In 1984 the magazine Profil smugly stated: "Fritz Fronz, Hansdampf in all political alleys, notorious founder of the order and currently the green councilor of Klosterneuburg, is starting a new career: He becomes environmental consultant for Lower Austria's regional chief Siegfried Ludwig."

Friedrich "Frits" Fronz, castle actor, pop singer, "founder of the order", exhibition manager, film actor, sex film director and bourgeois Green politician, died on August 29, 1990 in his adopted home Klosterneuburg. He was buried on September 7, 1990 in the Vienna Central Cemetery.

Individual evidence

  1. This includes:
    • a presumably illegitimately acquired title of "professor"
    • an obviously invented second name Frundsberg, which he added with a hyphen to his name Fronz in his function as (obviously self-proclaimed) "Knight of the Order" ("Fronz-Frundsberg").
    • the establishment of an associated, ominous order called "Ordines Internationales Pro Concordatia Populorum", obviously a presumption invented by Fronz.
    • allegedly 16 plays that he claims to have written, title unknown.
