Fleeing the war he ended up in Norgaardholz in Schleswig-Holstein. His biggest catch – so to speak - was his wife Gerda, who helped him gut and sell the fish. Until the end of his life, this modest man sailed his boat every day - in the end even by the help of a walker. There is even a road named in his honour: "Fischer-Lietzow-Weg“.
