1860 - 1911: Heinrich Fick (DE)
Fick was a close friend of Paul Ritter, an art professor in Nuremberg who was also deaf, and worked as a painter in Munich.
There he married Amalie Spott (born 1886 in Munich; died 1978 in Munich), whose parents, Ferdinand Spott and Julie, were from Schweinfurt and were deaf. They had three children.
From 1899 onward, he lived in the Spott family villa at Hofmillerstraße 32. Ferdinand Spott, a modeler and engraver, had the villa built that year.
On April 2, 1898, he was one of the five founders of the deaf-mute society "Hufeisen – Kunst und Handwerk" (Horseshoe – Art and Craft),[4] which still exists today under the name Gehörlosenverein „Hufeisen“ 1898 München e. V. (Deaf Association "Hufeisen" 1898 Munich). The association's name comes from a horseshoe that the five founders found during a hike. The association's purpose was to protect deaf artists and craftspeople.
According to the later association chairman, Peter Funke, Fick was "a great personality, a respected artist in Munich."
In 1901, the Central Association for the Welfare of Deaf-Mutes in Need in Bavaria was founded, and Heinrich Fick served as its chairman until his death.
In 1908, the 7th German Congress of the Deaf-Mute took place in Munich under his leadership, and he was its president.
Heinrich Fick was an active mountaineer.
