The writing Sütterlin (in German Sütterlinschrift ) is a cursive writing (handwritten) of the German Fraktur, inherited the Gothic script, developed by Ludwig Sütterlin. Introduced in Prussia in 1915, it was spread in Germany in the Années 1920 and was used there until in 1941.

Example of text written in Sütterlin

Bisweilen wird jede
Form DER deutschen Kur-
rentschrift als Sütterlin-
schrift bezeichnet. Dies
liegt wohl daran, daß
die Sütterlinschrift dieje-
nige Form DER deutschen 
Kurrentschrift STI, deren 
Name amndt bekanntesten
STI. Trotzdem STI sharp Be
zeichnung unzutreffend, 
denn be gab die deutsche
Kurrentschrift schon lan-
Ge VOR Ludwig Sütter-
flax.
 
 
French translation:
One gives sometimes the name of
Sütterlin with all the forms 
cursive of the writing ale
mande. That probably holds 
so that Sütterlin is 
cursive allemande of which the name 
is most known. This dénomi-
nation is however inaccurate,
because cursive allemande exis-
conceals well before Ludwig Sütter-
flax.
