Fritz Ascher

Ascher GmbH, founded by his father in 1904, is successful. He buys a 3,000 square meter plot of land in Zehlendorf's Niklasstraße and commissions the prominent architect Paul Schultze-Naumburg to build a prestigious villa. In 1909, the family moved into the property, which was one of the first in the newly developing residential area. Fritz Ascher is 16 years old and begins his studies at the Königsberg Academy of Art. After completing his studies, he returns to Berlin and sets up a studio in his parents' villa. He established himself as a freelance artist and exhibited until he was called up for military service on October 13, 1916.

He returned with a heart condition. The house passed into the hands of the SS in 1940.
