Career

Born in Göppingen on 4 March 1938, Fritz Weigle[1] was the only son of Anna (née Krathwohl) and Friedrich Weigle. He attended the gymnasium in Göppingen, where he was known by the nickname Bernstein.[2][lower-alpha 1] He studied from 1957 at the Stuttgarter Kunstakademie where he met Robert Gernhardt. In 1958, they both moved to the Berlin Academy of the Arts. Weigle returned to Stuttgart where he took the exam to be an art teacher in 1961. Later in 1961, he studied graphics in Berlin, and simultaneously German at the Free University of Berlin, completing in 1964. He began work as a teacher in 1966 in Frankfurt-Sachsenhausen at the Freiherr-vom-Stein-Schule [de], followed by a post in Bad Homburg vor der Höhe from 1968. He taught at the Georg-Büchner-Gymnasium [de] in Bad Vilbel from 1970 to 1972,[4] and moved then to the School of education (Pädagogische Hochschule) in Göttingen.[5] He was appointed professor of caricature and comics at the Berlin Academy of the Arts in 1984, the only such chair,[6] and held the post until he retired in 1999.[1] In April 1964, he began work for the satirical biweekly magazine pardon. He founded together with Gernhardt and F. K. Waechter its appendix Welt im Spiegel [de] (World in the mirror), published until 1976.[5]
