Fichtner

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fichtner, Fiechtner, or any variant thereof is a surname originating from areas where German is spoken.

Groups of Fichtners helped to colonize the early United States, with the emergence of Fichtners into Pennsylvania in the mid-1760s. Fichtners also settled in the Russian Empire as Catherine the Great opened up Russian lands to German settlement during her reign. [citation needed]

The name is common within modern Germany, specifically in southern Germany. Fichtners also remain in modern-day Ukraine and many live within the United States today, concentrated in the Midwest and Northwest.[citation needed]
