In Karlsruhe , Christoph Friedrich Fanck completed a commercial and a banking apprenticeship, which he was able to apply for the first time in the Badische Gesellschaft für Zuckerfabrikation in Waghäusel . From 1873 he worked in the Frankenthal sugar factory, which had just been converted into a stock corporation by the family business Franz & Carl Karcher in Frankenthal . The company was the origin of the Südzucker Group . Due to the broader financial base with a start-up capital of 1.2 million marks , the factory developed into one of the largest sugar refineries in the German Empire in the following years .

After the death of the factory owner Philipp Karcher in 1894, Christoph Friedrich Fanck was appointed administrative director of the Frankenthal AG sugar factory . The Royal Bavarian Government named Christoph Friedrich Fanck "Royal Commercienrath" because of his services to trade and industry in the Rhine Palatinate.

After his early death at the age of 59, his widow moved from Frankenthal to Freiburg im Breisgau on June 20, 1907 . She had the remains of her husband and her firstborn son Ernst (* January 18, 1884, † July 31, 1884) buried in the Frankenthal cemetery at the main cemetery there.
