Life

Josef Fieger, eldest son of a Catholic family of merchants and farmers, studied medicine in Würzburg , Freiburg im Breisgau and Rostock (1910–1913) after graduating from high school in Tauberbischofsheim . After his state examination in 1913, he was with the work over the excretion of urinary saponins and their blutzersetzende effect within the organism at the University of Rostock to Dr. med. PhD. In 1913/14 he was an assistant doctor at the University of Rostock.

After being deployed in the First World War, he ran his own medical practice in Lechenich from 1920.

Fieger was known for his social and charitable work in Lechenich . He adjusted the fees to the living and financial circumstances of his patients; “Needy, unemployed and large children were treated free of charge.” During the Nazi era , he continued to treat Jewish patients. With a false medical certificate, he saved a half-Jewish woman from being transferred to a concentration camp in 1944 .

Among other things, he had the later so-called Dr.-Josef-Fieger-Houses built. He is the namesake of Dr.-Josef-Fieger-Straße in Lechenich at the school center, which was built on former Fieger property. The Dr. Josef Fieger Foundation was posthumously established in 1965 from inherited assets .

He was married to Anna, geb. Rossler. The son Franz Josef Fieger emerged from the marriage.
