Career
Schulte-Frohlinde was trained by Paul Bonatz and was part of his Stuttgart school. On the recommendation of Albert Speer, in 1934 Schulte-Frohlinde went to work under Robert Ley"s German Labour Front (popularly known as the DAF, an transcript for Deutsche Arbeitsfront). The architect was named as the architect-director of the Schönheit der Arbeit (SdA, "Beauty of Work"), a DAF suborganization tasked to make workplaces more enticing to workers.
The architect was openly anti-Semitic and unmistakably aligned with the goals and methods of the Nazis.
After 1945 Schulte-Frohlinde retreated to his hometown Bremen. On the role of architecture in the reconquered east by the Nazis Schulte-Frohline wrote:
"We are fighting for Germany, for the maintenance and recovery of the soul of our people, which is mirrored most visibly in our craft and architectural culture (Gr Kultur).".
