Life

His baptismal and stage name was Felix . He was the son of the postal inspector Felix Plotzke and his wife Ludmilla. His older brother Werner (1907-1983) was also a Dominican (religious name Urban).

He studied philosophy and theology between 1928 and 1935 at the Dominican University in Walberberg and Düsseldorf . The ordination received Plotzke on 28 July 1933, Cologne by Cardinal Schulte . After that, Father Wolfram was employed in pastoral care in Augsburg, Berlin and from 1939 in Schwichteler (Oldenburg) . After completing his theological studies in 1935, he was allowed to continue his education at a private art academy because of his painting talent. There he was trained as a painter and from 1938 to 1942 - at the same time as the pastoral commission in Schwichteler - he painted various churches. On January 13, 1939, Father Wolfram received the order from the province to "paint the church (in Schwichteler) and make it the most beautiful church in the area."
