Richard Fichte

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Emil Fichte (* July 22, 1896 ; † January 12, 1982 ) was a German businessman, writer and essayist.

Life

He was a descendant of Johann Gottlieb Fichte . After studying at the universities of Leipzig and Breslau, he tried as a young man to gain a foothold in Dresden with his own Fichte publishing house and publications on German handicrafts and labor and tax laws . In the 1920s, he moved to Chemnitz as a businessman , where he ran the Fichte crystal house on Königstrasse with a second shop on Zimmerstrasse. After he was expelled from the NSDAP as head of office , he spoke publicly in February 1932 about Martin Mutschmann's lack of discipline and incompetence . In 1934, however, he publicly stated his hatred of Jews in a letter to the Reich government.

Fichte gave up the Kristallhaus, withdrew from the big city and spent the years between 1937 and 1946 in the remote Ore Mountains in Fällbach near Steinheidel . He described himself as a fighter against “the mean, the shameless, the repulsive” in art. In Fällbach he was a neighbor of the two years older writer Kanut Schäfer (1894–1971).

After the Second World War, as part of the land reform, he was assigned a new farmer's position in Steinheidel, which, however, was withdrawn from him again under reprimand from his former NSDAP membership, whereas in 1947, with the help of the lawyer Dr. Leuthold submitted a complaint to the Saxon state parliament . Another petition was directed against denazification . At the beginning of the 1950s he lived as a writer in West Berlin , where he a. a. published several art books, including his legacy book “Art and Culture Decay” in 1981 at the age of 85.
