from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Fritzsching (born July 5, 1891 in Limbach-Oberfrohna ; † January 27, 1976 ) was a German teacher, local researcher , monument conservator and draftsman .

He was a son of the teacher and local researcher Paul Fritzsching. Like his father, he also took up teacher training. After attending the teachers' college in Chemnitz , he became a teacher in his hometown.

Together with his father, after the end of the Second World War he tried to reopen and realign the local history museum in Limbach-Oberfrohna and to create a local chronicle. He also arranged for the found Saxon quarter milestone to be set up in front of the town hall.

He joined the local and district management of the Kulturbund of the GDR and worked for several decades as a district monument curator. As he was closely connected to nature and his homeland, he wrote numerous hiking suggestions for the Sächsisches Tageblatt. As a local researcher, he published several articles in the local history booklets of the district of Karl-Marx-Stadt and for the commemorative publication for the local festival in Limbach-Oberfrohna in 1958. In his free time, he also created pen drawings and watercolors, some of which were sold on postcards.
