Live and act

In 1938 Fischer came to Germany with his parents to visit their grandparents. A return to Bolivia was no longer possible because of the outbreak of war in 1939, so the family stayed in Germany. They lived in Müllheim , where Fischer attended school. After graduating from high school in 1950, he studied German, history and philosophy in Freiburg im Breisgau and received his doctorate in 1957. He then went to England as a teacher for a year. On January 9, 1961, he was transferred to Meßkirch and began his service as a study assessor at what was then the Progymnasium there (German, history, social studies, English). Later he moved to the Martin-Heidegger-Gymnasium. Werner Fischer was chairman of the Kreutzer Choir in Messkirch until January 1986. In 1995, Fischer retired as Director of Studies and Deputy Headmaster.
