[Update 26. July 2024]: The solution of the mystery didn’t work out , this Fritz Neumann (1928–2014) isn’t Ric
I’ve found two Fritz Neumann biographies and a change to the German Wikipedia:
Freundeskreis Bildende Kunst Oldenburg e.V.
By Dr. Arie Hartog of the Gerhard-Marcks-House Bremen:

There also has been a change to the German Wikipedia, adding the Ric pseudonym to Fritz Neumann. But there is still no article on him.
Short description: This is my third print of the Sailing boats (Ric 07 ). This print is interesting because it is not framed behind glass, but has been mounted on cardboard. The sheet has also been cropped to such an extent that not even the signature has been preserved.
Notes: Found on a flea market in Hannover.
Das Haus der Frau
One of the experts helping me out from time to time is Gerbrand Caspers, also known as The Linosaurus , has started a new project. I’ve been following his work for about a decade and his colloction of woodcut prints is quite impressive. Please have a look at his new project website Das Haus der Frau , he also offeres a printed lexicon containing the results of his research.
Short description: This seems to be a cover of an issue of “Genossenschaftfamilie” with an painting by Fritz Neumann. It was a company magazine of the GEG (Deutsche Großeinkaufs-Gesellschaft) from Hamburg.
Notes: More Information on the publication is available in German.
