Karl Emil Otto Fritsch
Karl Emil Otto Fritsch (born January 29, 1838 in Ratibor , Upper Silesia , † August 31, 1915 in Berlin ) was a German architect , editor and non-fiction author and the son-in-law of Theodor Fontane .
Life
Karl Emil Otto Fritsch was one of the founders and editors of the Deutsche Bauzeitung and co-editor of Berlin and its buildings . In 1893 his book The Church of Protestantism from the Reformation to the Present was published . He owed an honorary doctorate from the Technical University of Dresden and a professorship to his publications .
In his first marriage, Fritsch was married to Klara Köhne from 1868, with whom he had two daughters. After her death in 1877, he married the half-sister of his first wife, Anna Köhne (* 1858), in 1882. During this time he also made the acquaintance of the Fontane family. Anna Fritsch was supposed to inspire Theodor Fontane for the figure of Käthe Sellenthin in Irrungen, Wirrungen ; also Effi Briest has features Annas. After a falling out with her husband, Anna wanted to divorce him in 1895; however, before this plan could be put into practice, she became seriously ill and died two years later. Allegedly before her death she expressed the wish that Fritsch would marry Fontane's daughter Martha , which happened in 1899.
