I've seen you around on tumblr Fritz fandom, so I immediately recognized your name when you commented on my fic, and I was very pleased!
You guys, I thought I had linked to this piece back when I put together my collation of my favorite tumblr links, but I guess I didn't?? Anyway, enjoy it now. :D
being 13, I didn't get many proper sources until way later, so all of my knowledge is kind of... a huge mess of anecdotes and a few primary sources that I read way later
We've all been down that road! We're constantly revising our beliefs and our opinions as new information turns up. Be aware that even some of the information in rheinsberg has been superseded by later discoveries. It's a fast-moving fandom!
honestly, your page has been a goldmine, it's SO fun to read!
Yay, that's what we hoped when we put it together! You said you had a particular interest in Fredersdorf; have you been had time to check out his tag? We have a copy of his correspondence with Fritz (I think you said you had acquired the same volume) in our pdf library, and selenak was kind enough to read it and summarize it for us (which, tbh, is how we know almost all sources in this fandom are propagated). She is a goldmine.
Anyway, I don't remember if anything under the Fredersdorf tag says why we don't believe he was dismissed for financial irregularities, but we don't. :P Lehndorff doesn't know anything about it, and there's a distinct lack of mentions in any of our actual sources, so we're waiting until we find evidence before we subscribe to any belief in that. Citation needed!
Also fic. We have written several Fredersdorf fics between the three of us, some in which he features and some in which he's a secondary character. And to think that last year, he had no tag in AO3! (He's getting nominated and requested again for Yuletide this year.)
the pop art style poster of Fritz
The Andy Warhol one? Oh, cahn, have you seen this one? They had it hanging in Sanssouci when I was there.
Pop art Katte sounds great!
Above all, we're happy to have you and look forward to sharing the Fritz fun! :D
I have to admit that I somewhat forgot that my AO3 profile and my old art blog have the same name :'D Oh boy, there's some stuff on there... Though I'm glad to know people like it a bit! :D I made new and more silly doodles (like a very Cursed looking Heinrich) on my last vacation to Brandenburg, I might upload those at some point (to my new tumblr though...)
Fredersdorf
I have not read through the Fredersdorf tag yet, but I definitely will :D I do have a Richter copy of the correspondence from 1926. I'm really glad I found it, it's in great condition and the few letters I've read so far were very interesting and lead to me and a group of friends referring to Fritz as Friech for the past few months (makes it easier to differentiate between the five different Friedrichs we talk about). My newest acquisition is a 1936 copy of Der Kronprinzenprozess by Carl Hinrichs, which lists a bunch of primary sources, some of which I did not know yet, and would probably break my heart for good if I read through it in one sitting.
The Andy Warhol one?
The one I have is this one which the DHM apparently photographed in a basement, using a phone from 2012. I put it up in my new apartment because it's something I had a frame for and I have this random pink wall... Couldn't figure out what else to put on the other walls and my colleague suggested painting something in the same style, sooo Katte it is. It's quite a process since I've never worked with the grid method, acrylic paint, canvas boards OR pop art before, but I have some hope left that it's going to look good eventually. Hopefully. Please.

We are Heinrich fans, bring it on!

IT BROKE MY HEART. And all I did was read the selenakwrite-up! And because I like having my heart broken, it's on my list of things to read once my German is good enough to not need a translation. :D (Getting closer!)

Oh, wow, that one is new to me. So pop art of Fritz is a thing! See, this fandom is sooo educational.
sooo Katte it is.
Excellent choice! Pop art of Katte needs to be a thing. PS, I accept fanart treats for fandom exchanges like Yuletide. :D (Damn, I need to finish my letter. How am I supposed to participate in fanfic exchanges and study German and comment on German reading group and read and reply to selenak's write-ups *and* be royal detective? :P)
