Roderich Fick (1887-1955) studied architecture in Munich Zürich and Dresden. After several years in Africa he returned in 1935 to become professor at the Munich Technical University. In 1936 he built the "Haus der deutschen Ärtzte" (House of the German Medical Ass.)

Fick constructed several buildings for Hitler's Obersalzberg complex and was appointed (in 1939) "Reichsbaurat für die Neugestaltung der Stadt Linz" (State Councillor for the Redesign of the City of Linz).

Fick's architectural style was sarcastically described as "Bavarian/Upper-Austrian monastery building"

Fick was responsible for the buildings which flank the Nibelungen Bridge -- the only parts of Hitler's grand scheme for Linz that were actually completed.

After the war Fick worked as a freelance architect in Bavaria.
