Life
After an apprenticeship as a bricklayer and attending the trade school in Hagen , he joined the office of the city architect Eduard Bürkner in Barmen.

In 1858 he worked as a mason foreman in Kassel for the architect Georg Gottlob Ungewitter . He later worked as a site manager in Gütersloh and passed his master mason examination in Bielefeld , after which he returned to Unterbarmen.
Among other things, he has been campaigning for the reconstruction of Burg Castle in Solingen since 1882 with a wealth of drawings, plans, drafts and his own excavations . From 1889 to 1902 he mainly devoted himself to this project.
His son Jacob Richard Fischer (1870–1928) continued his father's work.
