Over the outer and valley paths, we reach Field FA, where below the southern slope lies the unassuming gravestone of the bee researcher and organ builder Heinrich Friese. A memorial plaque also commemorates the accomplished work of the entomologist Dr. Heinrich Friese at his childhood home at Kirchenstraße 1. He was born here on May 4, 1860. Even during his school days, his love was devoted to the flora and fauna of his surroundings. He spent most of his free time cultivating plants from seeds and collecting insect pupae and caterpillars.

For this, he earned the nickname "naturalist" at the Schwerin Realgymnasium. Friese focused particularly on bees and their behaviors. An early eye ailment forced him to leave school during the Obersekunda. In his father's workshop, he learned the trade of an organ builder. However, his research on bees persisted. His collections of specimens grew, capturing the interest of experts such as the entomologists Professor Taschenberg and Schmiedeknecht. Friese's first publication was the extensive scientific work "Die Bienen Thüringens" ("The Bees of Thuringia"). With the proceeds from sales and from masterfully crafted insect specimens of eggs, pupae, larvae, and adult insects, Friese financed a study trip to Paris. For a year, he traveled through Dalmatia, Transylvania, and Hungary. The research findings he collected during this time culminated in the six-volume work "Die Bienen Europas" ("The Bees of Europe"), compiled by 1900, which garnered international recognition. His extensive knowledge was further enhanced by studies in Strasbourg and Jena. Eventually, the University of Gießen awarded him an honorary doctorate in philosophy. In 1913, the Schwerin regional government honored Friese with the title of professor. Friese shared a special friendship with the Jena natural scientist Professor Ernst Haeckel. From 1895 to 1905, Friese was in Innsbruck. There, work on the bees of Europe was carried out with particular intensity. Research trips also took him to South America, Japan, Africa, Java, and New Guinea, resulting in numerous scientific papers. In 1905, Friese returned to Schwerin with his family. The First World War interrupted his connections with colleagues worldwide.

As a declared opponent of war, Friese worked in biological research at the Schwerin State Health Office until his retirement. He spent the Nazi era in seclusion. In his old age, he resumed his research activities. Until his final days, he worked tirelessly. At the age of 88, he passed away on September 8, 1948, in Schwerin. A trained organ builder, who was expected to achieve great things, lives on in the memory of many as the bee professor.
