Early life and training Fischer was born on 4 June 1870 in Fryšták, Moravia, Austria-Hungary. He was the son of Antonín Fischer (1841–1905), who ran a construction company there and later in Holešov, and his wife Františka Rectorová. Vladimír Fischer attended state schools in Brno until 1887, then matriculated to the Czech Technical University in Prague, where he studied engineering construction under prominent Galician-born architect Friedrich Ohmann until 1893. Moving to Vienna, Fischer then studied building technology with the historicist architect Emil Ritter von Förster in 1894–95. Fischer worked as an intern in von Förster's office and later in the 1890s under Hermann Helmer and Ferdinand Fellner in Vienna.

He established his own independent architectural practice in Brno soon after the turn of the century, and in 1902 was appointed to the technical department of the Moravian Governorate, initially as a construction adjunct. He was promoted to engineer in 1906, and in 1913 to chief engineer. Fischer soon proved himself a capable and popular designer, garnering commissions for a vast array of different structural types throughout Moravia, beginning with the Fryšták Town Hall (1900–01), followed up with the Tišnov Town Hall (1905–06), and including primary schools, private villas and tenement houses, gymnasiums, churches, vicarages and archbishops' residences, and financial institutions. Probably the most prominent of these was the new headquarters of the Cyrilometodějská zálazna (Cyril and Methodius Credit Union), now the Hotel Grandezza, in Brno, the first Czech financial institution to be based in the city, completed in 1914–15. These works remained strongly historicist and eclectic, with Fischer often choosing from a wide range of well-worn architectural elements, including steeply-hipped roofs, turrets and onion-spired domes reminiscent of central European Baroque architecture.

Family and late life Fischer married Eleonora ("Ella") Osvaldová in Smíchov (now Prague) on 2 November 1904. They had one son, František Fischer (born 26 August 1905), who also became an engineer and like his father, faculty of the Czech University of Technology. Ella Fischerová died in 1930 and was buried at the Brno Central Cemetery, in a grave with a tombstone designed by Fischer. The tombstone contains a richly decorated wrought iron cross from the turn of the 18th and 19th centuries and is protected as a cultural monument. Fischer died in Brno on 28 October 1947, at the age of 77, and was buried at the Brno Central Cemetery with his wife.
