Fritz Peters , actually: Friedrich Peters (born September 28, 1819 in Liepen ; † December 17, 1897 in Siedenbollentin ; full name: Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Peters ) was a German farmer, landowner and specialist author. He was a close friend of Fritz Reuters .

Life

Fritz Peters was born as the fifth child and eldest son of the landlord Christian Dietrich Peters (1778–1841). He attended the city school in Malchin . Because of his father's illness, Peters, who actually wanted to study medicine, had to quit school early at the age of 16, learn to farm on his father's estate and take over the business. In 1842 Peters leased the Thalberg estate near Altentreptow . After the wedding on May 24, 1843 with Marie Ohl († August 13, 1897) from Stralsund, he settled with his wife in Thalberg. There he was the first to introduce summer barn feeding for cattle. On behalf of his lessor von Bülow, he arranged the purchase of the Stolpe and Neuhof estates near Anklam in 1846 , leased them and brought them forward economically.

In 1858 (according to other information, 1860) he bought the Bollentin estate from Ludwig Heydemann (near Siedenbollentin near Altentreptow ). In the course of time he expanded his economy by buying additional farms on site and merging the usable areas through land swaps. He set up a model economy here and achieved, among other things, high yields from the dairy industry. Peters had further successes with cattle and pig breeding. He sold breeding cattle both within Germany and to Sweden and the Baltic States . In 1873 he was given the title of “Economic Council”.

Fritz Peters was the father of six children. His youngest son, Ernst Peters (1861–1943), was Reuter's godchild.

Friendship with Fritz Reuter

Fritz Peters had been friends with Fritz Reuter since 1842, who at that time worked on an estate in Demzin . After Peters moved to Thalberg, Reuter followed him in 1844 and stayed with him until 1850. Reuter then settled down as a private teacher in neighboring Altentreptow . He later visited Fritz Peters repeatedly in Siedenbollentin.

Fritz Reuter's letters to Fritz and Marie Peters and those of his wife Luise are in the holdings of the Fritz Reuter Literature Museum (partly as copies) . They were first published as a complete edition in 1935.
