Overview

  • He served nearly four decades in the Bundestag and led Hamburg's CDU from 1992 to 2007, shaping regional and national party leadership.
  • An eviction order by the Amtsgericht St. Georg forced him to vacate his Winterhude five-room apartment this month.
  • His Brazilian partner is staying with friends in Altona after the court ordered their eviction.
  • Media reports say he has sent several hundred thousand euros in remittances to support her relatives' medical and living expenses, including veterinary bills for the family dog.
  • Despite receiving about €7,700 monthly from his Bundestag pension, Fischer has relied on personal loans—chiefly from Wolfgang Bosbach, which he has mostly repaid—and is seeking further aid to settle his arrears.
