After early artistic and craft experience through his parents' house, Friederichsen completed an apprenticeship as a silversmith from 1957 to 1960, which he completed with a journeyman's certificate in the master class for gold and silversmiths with Professor Rolf Goldschmitt, Vocational Training Center Munich.

Through construction internships and construction management with various architects in Munich and Münster / Westphalia, he became familiar with architectural issues.
