Norman Fickel was born in Nuremberg in March 1963 and grew up on Tetzelgasse in Nuremberg's old town and Sebalder old town . In September 1969 he started as a primary school student at the Paniersplatz primary school at the northern end of Tetzelgasse .

He finished his studies in May 1989 with a diploma and then worked from June 1989 to May 1990 in a mathematical research project. During this time, in July 1989, he also married his wife Ute, who is now a senior teacher at the Paul-Pfinzing-Gymnasium in Hersbruck . From June 1990 to December 1993 he did his doctorate in statistics at the WiSo of FAU and received his doctorate in December 1993 as Dr. rer. pole. (Doctor of Economics and Social Sciences).
