<p>[QUOTE=&quot;McAdder, post: 587350, member: 7942&quot;]Deutsche Kurrentschrift is the correct name for this handwriting. Sütterlin is a late variant taught in German schools from 1911 onward named after its inventor <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_S%C3%BCtterlin_(Grafiker)" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_S%C3%BCtterlin_(Grafiker)" rel="nofollow">Ludwig Sütterlin.</a>&nbsp; </p><p>Altdeutsche Schrift translates as old German writing. The Nazis decided to use Latin Alphabets instead of the Kurrent and after the war very few people learned to read or write Kurrent, today nobody uses it and few people can read it, so many refer to it as Altdeutsche Schrift&nbsp; (old german writing) the same term is often used for printings in gothic letters/Blackletters, which were also no longer used around the same time. .[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
