He became aware of the prehistoric and early historical monuments of the Kürnberg as early as the 1920s on the occasion of a hike.

The investigation of the outer ring wall revealed two construction stages. After the excavation at the Wallburg was completed, Fietz was entrusted with prospecting the remains of the wall, which should turn out to be the foundations of a Roman watchtower (1936/37). From 1938 he investigated a Bronze Age barrow in the Reingrub at Kürnberg.
