Biography

Emil Fabritius graduated in 1893 from a Swedish school in Helsinki and in 1900 as an architect from the Polytechnic College. Additionally, he studied architecture in München and music in Berlin. He worked as architect from 1900-17, and from 1905-15 was in partnership with Valter Jung designing schools, and social and industrial buildings. The style combined a neoclassicistic reaction and a decorative Nordic trend.

Later, Fabritius became a businessman and even worked as a parliamentary stenographer. During the war of independence, he was attached to the Finnish missions in Stockholm and Berlin. At the 1912 Stockholm Olympics, he competed in individual trap shooting competition but was not chosen for the team event.
