His parents were Albert Bernhard Schlesinger and Valerie, née Solmsen. He had a younger brother, Erich. The family owned a mother-of-pearl factory in Berlin-Charlottenburg. From the age of eleven he received private tuition, which also included violin lessons and a study of music. From 1900 he studiedmechanical and engineering scienceat the Technical University of Berlin, specializing in electrical engineering. In 1907 he successfully completed his studies. He then worked for the Association of German Electrical Engineers, after playing a concert with a pianist friend without notes, he decided to become a musician. He was trainedas a concert masterby Carl Flesch . In 1912 Schlesinger married Ilse Marie Johanna Charlotte von Voigts-Rhetz. Instead, he gave up his Jewish faith, and his wife's family, in turn, did not agree to the marriage "under stand". The couple had two daughters: Marianne (born 1913) and Sigrid (born 1920). In June 1920, Kurt Schlesinger was adopted by Berta Schroeter and took her name on. In 1919 he had started violin training at the Stern Conservatory of Music with Siegfried Eberhardt, in September 1920 he taught for two years at this conservatory, and in 1926 he completed his training. In 1923 the family moved to Groebenzell, to a villa they had bought there. Schroeter became a freelance violin teacher in Groebenzell and the surrounding area, he taught in the Marquartstein Landschulheim, in Augsburg and in Munich . He made an international reputation for himself and in 1924 published “Flesch / Eberhardt. Inappropriate or natural violin technique ”. In 1931 the monthly magazine “Die Musik” printed Kurt Schroeter's article “The art of violin as the archetype of the art of living”. On February 10, 1936, Schroeter was expelled from the Reich Music Chamber, so he could no longer teach and the family's livelihood was taken away. The journal “Der Nervenarzt” published his “The Indisposition and its Treatment” in July 1936. As a result, Schroeter emigrated to the Netherlands in orderto gain a foothold againin Amsterdam as a concertmaster and violin teacher. There he lived first hidden with a friend, later semi-legally at different addresses. His wife filed for divorce in 1941 in order to save the property from the Nazis. From September 1942 to January 1943 Schroeter wrote a diary for his children, in which he wrote of the helpfulness of Dutch friends, but also of the increased attacks on Jews. On August 16, 1943, Kurt Schroeter was arrested in a raid on the street and taken to the "Jewish Theater" collection point. There he had tospenda few weeks until he was deported to the Vught-Hertogenbosch concentration camp . He was registered in the concentration camp on September 9, 1943 with the prisoner number 7174. On November 15, 1943 he was deported to the Auschwitz concentration camp and registered there with the prisoner number 163397. At the end of 1943 he was transferred to quarantine camp B II, where "old age" was diagnosed. Kurt Schroeter lost his life in the night of January 2, 1944. On that day, 141 prisoners from the men's camp were selected for the gas chambers, Kurt Schroeter was among them. His divorced wife received encrypted information from a friend who believed he had been arrested for illicit medical activities. On December 20, 1943, she wrote to the Reich Commissioner for the Occupied Dutch Territories asking for a pardon, but by then her husband was already in the Auschwitz extermination camp. His daughter Marianne became a translator, emigrated to Sweden in 1936 and returned to Berlin in 1952. She died in 1974. His daughter Sigrid emigrated to Switzerland in 1935, where she died in 199. Ilse Schroeter died in 1968. The relocation of the Stolperstein was originally rejected by the Gröbenzell council.
