Life

School and education

Peter Fichtenbauer attended elementary school between 1952 and 1956 and then secondary school. In 1957 he moved to the secondary school in Waidhofen an der Thaya , which he completed in 1965 with the Matura . Then Fichtenbauer performed his military service as a one-year volunteer from 1965 to 1966 and subsequently became a militia officer (since October 2005 a brigadier ).

In 1966 he began studying law at the University of Vienna , which he in 1970 with the graduation to the Dr. jur. finished. He became a member of the holiday association of German university students Waldmark in Gmünd (Lower Austria), which the DÖW classifies as "anti-Austrian" and " völkisch ".

Professional career and functions

After completing his studies, Fichtenbauer completed the court year between 1970 and 1971 and was then a trainee lawyer until 1975. He passed the bar exam in 1974 and has been working as an independent lawyer in Vienna since 1975 . In addition to his work as a lawyer, Fichtenbauer was involved in numerous areas. Between 1982 and 1986 he was a member of the Commission for the Compliance of the Broadcasting Act and between 1984 and 1999 a committee member of the Vienna Bar Association . Fichtenbauer was also a delegate to the Austrian Bar Association , examination commissioner for the bar exam and assessor at the Vienna Higher Regional Court in the field of labor law, and an expert in investigative committees .

Fichtenbauer is President of the Viribus Unitis Association - Association of Friends of the Museum of Military History . He was also president of the Society for Austrian Army Studies from 1984 to 1987 and has been secretary of the Friends of the Austrian Air Force since 2000. He is also a board member of the 50 Years Stalingrad Personnel Committee , the Austria Institute for European and Security Policy and a member of the board of trustees of the Austrian Black Cross War Graves Commission (ÖSK).

Fichtenbauer was "at least until 2006", according to the documentation archive of the Austrian Resistance (DÖW), deputy chairman of the "Association for the Care of the Grave of Walter Nowotny ", a fighter pilot ( major ) of the Air Force and NSDAP member. He was venerated as a hero by the National Socialists, and his honorary grave, which the City of Vienna maintained until 2003, has served as a contact point for right-wing radical skinheads and Holocaust deniers and is therefore controversial. Fichtenbauer is currently a simple member of the association.

He is also a member of the board of trustees of the National Fund of the Republic of Austria for Victims of National Socialism as well as the Austro-Russian Friendship Society and the Austrian-Korean Society.

Fichtenbauer was a partner in several companies. Between 1992 and 2006 he was a member of the supervisory board of Wiener Städtische Versicherung ; since 1999 he has been a member of the supervisory board of Trigon Bank Aktiengesellschaft in Vienna. From 2009 to 2013 he was a board member of the Morgan Family Private Foundation.

He was elected to the National Council for the FPÖ in the 2006 National Council election in Austria ( XXIII GP ) via constituency 9D (Vienna South). He is considered a confidante of Heinz-Christian Strache and was elected on October 27, 2006 as his deputy as chairman of the Freedom Parliamentary Club. In the background, Fichtenbauer played a key role in the divorce war between the FPÖ and the BZÖ and, as president of the Liberal Club, is an important link to the bourgeois FPÖ representatives in Vienna. His political focus is on national defense, justice and the media. Since 2006 he has been secretary of the FPÖ educational institute . In 2007 he wrote the theses on liberal principles for finance and the economy and the FPÖ's demands on the justice program.
