At the beginning of the 17th century, Paul Fick was the merchant and merchant of Nuremberg (Franconia). The family then went to the Upper Palatinate where Joachim Joseph Fick, chairman of the court chamber in Sulzbach and Landsasse of the Hofmark Hohentreswitz (1744-1752) was. On July 12, 1769, Elector Karl Theodor (then Reichsverweser) raised him to the rank of baron for himself and his descendants . The eldest son Joseph von Fick founded the line in Angeltürn, the younger son Johann Christoph von Fick founded the line in Ammerthal.
