Life

Fischer passed his Abitur in 1951 in Kappeln an der Schlei . Supported by the German National Academic Foundation , he studied in Stuttgart and Kiel . There he received his doctorate in 1959 with a thesis on structural investigations on synthetic carnallite. In 1970 he completed his habilitation in Marburg with a thesis on homogeneous spherical packings and their conditions of existence in space groups of tetragonal symmetry. In 1971 he was appointed professor. 1974–1978 he worked in Münster and then worked at the Philipps University of Marburg until his retirement in 1996 .

He dealt with mathematical crystallography , in particular with periodic minimal surfaces , spherical packings , areas of action, normalizers , lattice complexes, the description of crystal structures and worked on the International Tables for Crystallography . This work was very often done in collaboration with Elke Koch.
