Fritz Skarbovskis

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fritz Skarbovskis (* 1944 in Dresden ; † January 19, 2016 ) was a Dresden snack seller. Since 1999 he has been standing with his red Tempo Hanseat , which has been converted into a snack stand, on the Neumarkt area in Dresden, which is being rebuilt, from which he was selling bratwurst.

Life

Snack stand from Tempo-Fritz at Neumarkt (2012)

After an apprenticeship at the Dresden aircraft factory in Klotzsche and a job at the Dresden Cultural Office, Skarbovskis opened a private pottery in Niederpoyritz in the 1980s . After German reunification, when Skarbovskis had to close his pottery due to lack of competitiveness, he developed the concept of a snack stand together with the Dresden Transport Museum, which was set up on a historical vehicle to match the museum's theme. The deliberately chosen Tempo Hanseat tricycle was not a vintage car from the Hamburg Tempo factory , but an Indian Bajaj Tempo , but the “Tempo” brand could be used.

With this red snack stand in the middle of the Neumarkt area, which is under reconstruction, between the Frauenkirche , Transport Museum and Kulturpalast , "Tempo-Fritz", as it was called from around 2002, has been attracting locals, tourists, construction workers and personalities such as the Puhdys and Sigmund Jähn since 1999 . He repeatedly had conflicts with the authorities, who often kept the Dresden public busy for days. In total, within 10 years - between 1999 and 2009 - due to the authorities and construction progress, he had to move 13 times.

With a second snack bar specially converted for this purpose and painted in the Dresden city colors, he was in Dresden's twin city, Hamburg, for two weeks in May 2009 as the representative of the city of Dresden - a suggestion by Mayor Helma Orosz . At the same time ran the Hamburg Work Museum special exhibition "Tempo! On three wheels into the economic miracle ”.

He died in January 2016 after an operation and was buried in an anonymous urn field in the Heidefriedhof . Fritz Skarbovskis, whose mother was from Riga , was married twice and had a total of five children with both wives.
