Karl von Fischer belongs to the record of architecture as a figure whose buildings outlasted the taste that commissioned them.
The record lists Karl von Fischer as German architect (1782-1820).
Karl von Fischer was born at Mannheim in 1782. His recorded nationality is Kingdom of Bavaria.
Baroque and neoclassical building served courts, churches and states, and architecture became an instrument of display.
He is recorded as architect.
Architecture is the art that cannot be avoided: people live inside the argument.
That the work was built in Kingdom of Bavaria shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.
Karl von Fischer died in 1820, aged 38. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
