Fritz Müller-Partenkirchen

Born Friedrich Müller in Munich on February 24, 1875, he later became known by the pen name Fritz Müller-Partenkirchen. Before turning fully to literature, he trained in merchant trade, worked as an accountant, and later taught commercial subjects in Partenkirchen.

His writing often centered on merchants, apprentices, and everyday working life, usually with a light or humorous touch. A first collection based on his World War I stories and experiences appeared in 1915, and in the 1920s he adopted the name Müller-Partenkirchen; his most successful novel was Kramer & Friemann. Eine Lehrzeit from 1920.

He died on February 4, 1942, in Hundham. The surviving reference sources available here confirm his career as a German writer, but they do not provide a usable portrait image from the pages checked.
