Fritz Grewenig was born in Heusweiler (Kgr. Prussia, today Saarland) and began there with an apprenticeship as a painter in his father's store. From 1909 to 1911 Grewenig attended the technical school for decorative painting in Saarbrücken. He then began an apprenticeship with the Saarbrücken painter Richard Wenzel before studying at the Royal Saxon Academy in Dresden from 1913 under Richard Müller and Robert Sterl, among others. In 1922 Grewenig founded a private art school in his Saarbrücken studio and joined the Saarland Artists' Association. In 1924, Grewenig became the founder of the State School of Art and Decorative Arts in Saarbrücken and served as its director until 1936. After the "reincorporation" of the Saar region into the German Reich, the State School of Art and Applied Arts was closed in 1936 and the State Museum was dissolved. Grewenig was relieved of his position as director by Gauleiter Josef Bürckel. In 1942 Grewenig was banned from exhibiting.
