Life
Fritz Klawitter was born in Gdansk in 1866 as the son of the shipbuilder and shipyard owner Julius Wilhelm Klawitter . After leaving school, he studied engineering at the Technical University of Hanover . Here he became a member of the Corps Slesvico-Holsatia in 1887 . After graduating, he joined his father's company, the JW Klawitter shipyard . While his brother Carl William Klawitter was the commercial manager of the company, he was responsible for the technical management.
Under the leadership of the two brothers, the company developed into a modern mechanical engineering company. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, the shipyard was one of the most important shipbuilding companies in the German Empire, but lost its economic importance after the First World War due to the separation of Danzig and had to close in 1931 in the course of the global economic crisis.
Like his father, Fritz Klawitter was a regular member of the Shipbuilding Society . With the reconstitution on January 16, 1922, the Corps Borussia Danzig awarded him the ribbon .
From 1927 to 1930 he was a member of the People's Day for the DNVP, i.e. the Danzig Landtag.
