Baron Friedrich Von Schwarzschild (Full Name: Frederick Louis Karsten Edward Lawrence Von Schwarzschild; German Name: Baron Friedrich Von Schwarzschild) was the father of Katherine Von Schwarzschild. He was born in 1400s in Germany. Friedrich was the eighteenth child of thirty-five children born to Baron Waldobert Von Schwarzschild and Baroness Karoline Von Schwartzschild (nee Augustenburg). He was born into a very large and noble family. After taking his daughter to the Salvatore Boarding House in Italy so that she would regain her strength after enduring a terrible illness, he hoped that she would marry one of the Salvatore Brothers. He was very distraught over the illness of his daughter, so to make her feel better, he took her to Florence, Italy.
Friedrich and Giuseppe were close allies and friends, and Giuseppe's kindness is shown when he cares for Katherine as his esteemed guest during the Baron's absence due to his position in the European nobility. In the meantime, Stefan and Katherine fell in love and spent every single day together. Eventually, both men looked into the possibility of arranging a marriage between Stefan and Katherine. But the unexpected return of Damon, Stefan's older brother, caused some behavioural problems and issues in Giuseppe. Katherine decides to fake her death and solve the problems between the brothers, but in the end, the opposite happens, and kill each other. Baron is not mentioned in the following books, but he knew of the "death" of his daughter by her former servant.

Unlike in the books, Katherine's father was born in Bulgaria and lived with his family and servants during his last days. Mr. Petrov was more rigid, cruel and cold with Katherine, because she had a child out of wedlock. For this reason, Mr. Petrov was the first to exile his own daughter from both her home and the country. This action caused the death of the Petrova Family, one year later.
