Karl [Carl] von Fischer (19 September 1782 – 11 February 1820) was a German architect. His drafts had enormous influence on the architecture of neo-classicism in South Germany.

Prinz-Carl-Palais in Munich

His first design at the age of only 22, the Prinz-Carl-Palais in Munich, made him famous and he became a professor of architecture at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich in 1808. From 1811 onwards Fischer constructed the National Theatre. He also created the draft for the extension of Munich, especially for the Brienner Strasse with the Karolinenplatz and the Königsplatz.

Fischer, who was a representative of pure classicism and who rejected romantic historism, was soon displaced by Leo von Klenze as chief architect for the Bavarian court. He died in Munich and is buried in the Alter Südfriedhof.

gollark: But even though they could probably share some code and stuff, they're separate, hard to find, randomly scattered across the internet, and don't integrate well.
gollark: CC has lots of crypto libraries for various primitives: SHA256, "Ring LWE" for some reason, elliptic curve cryptography, SHA1, AES, ChaCha20.
gollark: Oh, the `/` operator thing was completely intended as an ugly hack, it was kind of a parody of Alex's Hell Superset.
gollark: Another idea I had was a general-purpose crypto library with sane defaults.
