Johann Michael Fischer

Johann Michael Fischer (18 February 1692 – 6 May 1766) was a German architect in the late Baroque period.

He is a major representative of south German Baroque architects.

He studied in Bohemia and combined Bohemian elements with Bavarian Baroque traditions.

Fischer designed 32 churches and 23 monasteries in southern Germany.

Several works have been attributed to Fischer that are now disputed, although his style was an obvious influence:
