Born and raised in the Thuringian woodland, his mechanical engineering studies took him to Saxony, to what is now Chemnitz. With no previous knowledge of theater and as an almost art philistine, he embarked on the Fritz Theater adventure in 2010. The reason for this was the repertoire from September to December 2010, in which interested parties, regardless of age and previous knowledge, were sought for a theater group. The aim was to bring the play "Rumpel und Pumpel" to the stage in October. Hard to imagine but ... it succeeded! Loriot's first dramas were performed on New Year's Eve 2011. And so his life on stage took its course.
