Life

Fritz Moeller-Schlünz was born in Schwaan in 1900. After finishing school, he trained as a decorative painter . He also had lessons from the Schwerin landscape painters Carl Malchin and Hermann Koenemann . Malchin recommended Moeller-Schlünz to study. After the First World War , he began studying at the Landeskunstschule am Lerchenfeld in the Hamburg district of Uhlenhorst . His teachers in figurative drawing and painting were Hermann Carl Schroeder, Willy von Beckerath and Hugo Meier-Thur .

After completing his studies, Moeller-Schlünz moved to Schwerin in 1924 and was active as a decorative painter. During this time he had various orders for the interior design of mansions in Mecklenburg as well as in southern Germany , including churches and the Regina Palace in Munich .

Health reasons ended this activity. In 1926 he and his brother founded a theater group in Schwerin and then stayed with the theater. After completing his vocal training, he was engaged at the stages in Altenburg , Gera , Kolberg and Berlin , and from 1934 the Lübeck city ​​theater engaged him as a baritone and actor. He remained connected to painting.

After retiring in 1960, painting was the main topic again. He and his wife undertook several art trips through Europe, where numerous motifs were captured in oil or as watercolors , the majority of which were city and landscape pictures. In 1981 he received the “ Franz Bunke Art Prize” from the Kulturkreis Mecklenburg eV in Hamburg . Fritz Moeller-Schlünz died in Lübeck in 1990 at the age of 91.

On February 24, 2019, an episode of the NDR's Lieb & Teuer program was broadcast, moderated by Janin Ullmann and filmed in Reinbek Castle . In it, an oil painting by Moeller-Schlünz from 1947 was discussed with the painting expert Beate Rhenisch, which shows a landscape with the village of Lauterbach on Rügen as a motif.
