Friedrich's Backstory
Friedrich I. Ernst Ferdinand Eugen von Hessen-Wetzlar was born as the oldest of three Brothers in Hessen on the 7th of January 1894 by the Family of the Grand Duke of Hessen-Wetzlar, a small Grand Dutchy in the middle of the Empire. His Father was the former Grand Duke, Andreas Peter von Hessen-Wetzlar, married to the daughter of a judge, Anita Sophia von Hessen-Wetzlar (Born Richter). His Father was in possession of the land of the Grand Dutchy Hessen-Wetzlar which Friedrich I. inherited after his death including a couple of Castles and Palaces.
Friedrich grew up with his two Brothers, Erich Lothar Manfred von Hessen-Wetzlar and Julius Endris Alfred Hans von Hessen-Wetzlar. From 1902 to 1905 Friedrich and his Brothers were mostly alone with their Mother at home as their Father served in the Military as a General in the Great War. Their Father died shortly after his return home in 1907, which made him the next Grand Duke at the age of 13, but their Mother took care of the politics first as she thought Friedrich was too young to rule. Friedrich grew up very closely to his Brothers at this time, all three in Wetzlar itself. Before it was common for one or sometimes two of the Brothers to be in a different City of the Grand Dutchy.
Friedrich went to a civil School from 1899 to 1904, from there on he got private lessons. In 1910 he got onto the military school as his Father planned for him. Friedrich´s Mother died soon later in 1915. Friedrich at that time had passed Training and Studying on a Military Academy. After he graduated, he first got out of the Military to take the Politics in his hands. Friedrich gifted some of the Residents and Castles to his Brothers, the most important one as it is practically right next to Wetzlar, the Burg Hermannstein, to the second oldest Brother, Erich.
Friedrich learned baking in this time in Private and rules lightly with help of his Brothers. In 1916 he adopted a boy, he renamed him to Friedrich II. Hermann Gerhard von Hessen-Wetzlar. Later this year he adopted two girls and named them Gloria Annelise Charlotte and Alicia Viktoria Maria von Hessen-Wetzlar. Until 1918 he was sunk in his private live, raising three children on the example of his Father and Mother.
In mid-1918 he reentered the Military as Generalfeldmarschall because of his relations and title, which did not make him less competent. He trained and studied at a military academy before and proved his skill in the Second Great War.
In the time of Peace in Europe he mostly was back in his private life taking care of his family and Grand Dutchy until the Revolt broke out in early 1932. On the Eastern Border of the Empire he took command of the Heer in the Empire. Later this year he defeated the Rebellion and retook Königsberg.
Friedrich then took part in official businesses of the Empire at the side of the Government. He developed new tactics and strategies for the Empire and made great changes to the army´s organization.
In 1939 Friedrich commanded the Heer in the Third Great War and was major part in defeating the Empire´s Enemies.
He made the Army battle ready to strike as the time demanded it in 1941. With Unternehmen Ostwind, all Arms of the Army fought and pushed the Eastern Enemy back deep in their land. One year later the Border of the Empire to the Eastern Land looked different, Friedrich took a major role in securing these as the Unternehmen Ostwind concluded. But soon in 1944 the Eastern Enemies wanted to retake what is theirs and Friedrich was called to duty again….
