Early Research
In 1905, Fischer's study, "Anatomical studies of the soft tissues of the head of two Papuans" was referenced in Christian Fetzer's study of skulls and possibly brains of Herero and Nama prisoners of war. Fetzer received the 17 heads from Dr. P. Bartels, a physician at Shark Island Extermination Camp. Part of Papua New Guinea was at that time the German colony Kaiser Wilhelmsland.
In a 1906 paper, Fischer was described as professor at the University of Freiburg.
