Wischer's Low German stories dealt with modern topics - happiness and suffering of his time - and were mostly written from a humorous worldview. Good Low German humor, as Wischer put it in one of the forewords to his books, never laughed at people, but only with them, in the Low German wording: "De gode nedderdütsche humor laughs ni över dat people, nee with dat people".
His most famous book is called Laugh man times! , appeared in 1918 and has been published many times to this day. It also appeared as a speaking record with Wilhelm Wieben , one of the most prominent reciters of Low German or Edgar Bessen .
Wischer worked on a translation of the bourgeois tragedy Maria Magdalena by Friedrich Hebbel for the Low German theater .
Honors
In the municipality of Sankt Peter-Ording today, Fritz-Wischer-Strasse is named after the poet.
