Life

Before the Second World War, Fritz Schröder-Jahn worked as an actor, from 1939 at the Berlin Schiller Theater under Heinrich George . After the end of the war he came to Radio Hamburg, the later NWDR , as an announcer and news anchor. In 1954, the NWDR and the SWF produced "the most famous radio play in radio history", Unter dem Milchwald by Dylan Thomas . With Philemon and Baucis (1956), The Temptation (1958), The Good God of Manhattan (1958) and Nachtprogramm (1965), pieces by Fritz Schröder-Jahn were awarded the War Blind Radio Play Prize.

“Before the war, radio plays were nothing more than plays telephoned,” Schröder-Jahn told Telegraf in 1972, the year he retired . “I find radio play much more interesting than television play ; one can take one's imagination for a longer walk. In addition, radio plays can do what is hardly possible with theater and television: improvising. Everything has to go according to plan there, not with the radio play. My method, for example, is that after a short rehearsal I have a recording made. On the basis of this recording I can then talk through everything with the actors. "

Fritz Schröder-Jahn was "First Director" at NDR . His successor was Hans Rosenhauer in 1972 .
