Life

The son of the machine worker Johann Jakob Fischer (1851–1926) and Maria Rosina geb. Müller (1854–1931) learned the trade of white tanner after elementary school . In his early youth he became a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD), but switched to the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) during the First World War . Fischer was a delegate of the so-called splitting party congress of the USPD and the unification party congress with the KPD in 1920.

In 1924 Fischer was elected for the KPD in the Landtag of the People's State of Württemberg, which existed from 1918 to 1933 and to which Fischer belonged until 1932. In 1927 he became a member of the district leadership of the KPD in Württemberg.

After the National Socialists came to power and communist activities were banned in March 1933, Fischer was arrested several times and was interned in the Buchenwald concentration camp for a long time . After the end of the Second World War he became a member of the KPD again and was politically active until his death. His son of the same name was also active in the KPD.
