What was Freder's childhood like in the film, Metropolis?

Freder has grown up in a perfect environment, where all his needs and desires have been provided. His father, a shrewd and merciless businessman, has kept him shielded from the real world, so Freder knows nothing of what it takes to run the city of Metropolis. He is completely unaware of the depths of the underground and the conditions of the workers. His life has been nothing but luxury.
