Roderich Fick (16 November 1886 – 13 July 1955) was a German architect who became prominent during the Nazi era. He taught at the Technical University of Munich from 1935, designed Rudolf Hess’s Munich home in 1936, and joined the Nazi Party in 1937. This helped him win major projects, including buildings at Hitler’s Obersalzberg complex, SS barracks, and a redesign of Linz. His work was part of the architecture event at the 1936 Olympic art competition. After the war, he was labeled a Mitläufer, meaning he was seen as passively supportive of Nazi crimes. He helped reconstruct Linz and later retired to Bavaria. Personal life: his first wife died in 1938; he married Catharina Büscher in 1948, 28 years younger, and they had a daughter named Friedrike in 1950.
