Anja Fichtel-Mauritz (born 17 August 1968, née Fichtel) is a retired German foil fencer.

As Elena Grishina, the Soviet fencer, recalls: The appearance of Anja Fichtel in foil fencing has drastically changed our view on that type of weapon.

Anja used to advance with three quick balestra, then stepped back, forcing her opponent to come closer, then she threw her arm above her head and vigorously attacked with a large lunge, making it almost half-size of the strip.

[citation needed] Seven weeks before the Olympics in Barcelona, Anja gave birth to her son Lauren.

In March 1997, she announced her retirement, and in October of the same year she gave birth to her second baby, and in 2007 her third child was born.
