Willi Fründt (25 July 1909 – 24 December 1944) was a German communist from Grabow. He was a member of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) and was arrested on 20 July 1944 as a result of Aktion Gitter after the failed 20 July plot. Following his arrest, Fründt was interned in the Neuengamme concentration camp where he was executed on 24 December 1944.[1][2][3] Ingeborg Siegmund noted that Fründt often came to the Ziegelscheune inn where the community of Grabow frequently met for casual conversation.[4]

Legacy

Two roads, one in Grabow and one in Prislich, were named after Fründt and a plaque commemorating him was installed by the road in Grabow.
