Waldemar Fritsch

Waldemar Fritsch (23 March 1909 – 13 July 1978) was a Sudeten-German porcelain sculptor and ceramist, who lived and worked in Ansbach, Germany after his expulsion from West Bohemia in 1946.

The area around Egerland, Karlovy Vary and Teplitz-Schönau were regarded as important sites of the porcelain and ceramics industry.

In his creations, he drew attention by the artistic quality of small sculptures such as the terracotta-relief "Jugend," a kitten and chicken group as well as a lying wolfshund.

In Prague, he created porcelain sculptures of Saint Sebastian, a loreley, a cockatoos, and a woman with a child and a baby.

In 1946, he moved to southwest Germany with his 80-year-old parents, where he found a new home in Ansbach in 1947 after temporary stays in Stuttgart-Wendlingen and Ellingen.
