Fritz Röhrs was a German painter and artist who was committed to the National Socialist ideology and who became known for his “ethnic-Germanic” work, especially woodcuts .
During the First World War, Röhrs fought as a soldier in France and Russia. He then studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Braunschweig , where he graduated as a book and commercial graphic artist in 1922 .
He primarily made idealized woodcuts of workers and farmers, who were portrayed as “heroes of the German people .” His picture “The Hauerschein” from this period of work, which shows an angular miner who corresponds to the National Socialist idea of the master man , hangs in the city museum of Damme without comment . Other museums, such as the Bomann Museum in Celle , which had purchased “Hannibal's Grave”, or museums in Osnabrück, no longer showed the works after the Second World War.
In 1937, Röhrs applied for the position of graphics director at the Hildesheim master school, the predecessor of today's technical college. Until then he had lived, among other things, as a freelance artist in Braunschweig. From now on he devoted himself primarily to woodcuts with Althildesheim motifs and idealized images of landscapes and cities in the spirit of the National Socialist worldview. Röhrs was represented at the Great German Art Exhibition in Munich in 1944 with two landscape woodcuts. He is considered an example of how relatively unknown regional artists spread the National Socialist understanding of culture.
Röhrs lived in his hometown of Hildesheim until his death. In the early 1950s, in addition to his teaching activities, he shifted his artistic focus to watercolors.
