Portrait of Fritz Schäuffele

Oskar Fritz Schäuffele (born February 29, 1916 in Bern ; † January 18, 1991 in Heiden ) was a Swiss publicist and employee of Swiss television from the very beginning.

Life

Fritz Schäuffele was born on February 29, 1916, the only child of Johanna Knörri and Oskar Schäuffele in Bern. He spent his early childhood in St. Gallen . The family later moved back to Bern and finally to Basel , where he graduated from school. The linguistically gifted young man was fascinated by theater and the media from an early age. Finally he ended up at Radio SRG Studio Basel, where, in addition to moderating the desired concert, he enriched the letterbox uncle with his special way of performing in rhymes. The dismissal without notice took place when the word "march" could not be matched with a word more appropriate than an indecent one.

In 1963 he started working for Swiss television , where in the 1960s he moderated the program "Sunday between 4 and 6", wrote scripts for television programs and later trained the speakers. He has written several books over the course of his life. He also made a small but fine name for himself as a chef. As a founding member of the "Club of Cooking Men" (Marmite), he spent many hours in the kitchen.

Schäuffele was married to Klara Klauser for the first time. From this connection comes a daughter, Elisabeth. In 1960 he married Heidi Stöckli in his second marriage. Daughter Ursula comes from this marriage. In 1991 Fritz Schäuffele died in Heiden.
