Lived in Amsterdam, Balistraat 106-II. Son of Pieter Johannes Friederich (23 February 1867 Amsterdam) and Petronella Maria Zondervan (5 February 1867 Leeuwarden). Unmarried. Cabinet maker/restorer of antique and modern furniture. Roman Catholic. During the May days of 1940, Friederich was a soldier. Member of the resistance belonging to the Internal Armed Forces.
He was the deputy commander of an Amsterdam BS group, arranged for the transport of weapons and weapons instruction and stored weapons in the parental home. During a house search on 16 February 1945, the Sipo found the weapons cache. Like his commander Pieter Gorter (17 March 1907 Velsen), he was arrested and transferred to the detention centre on the Weteringschans in Amsterdam. As reprisal for the attack on SS-Befehlshaber Hanns Albin Rauter on 6 March 1945, Friederich, Gorter and 51 others were executed by firing squad on the Amsteldijk near Rozenoord. His tombstone reads: ‘Fallen in full conviction for his Fatherland’.
His archive card in the Amsterdam city archive gives Franciskus as his third given name, while his tombstone reads Franciscus.
