After joining Deutsche Bank in 1987, Fitschen held executive positions in Thailand, Japan and Singapore, before becoming a member of the Global Corporates and Institutions Divisional Board in 1997, based in Frankfurt.

In December 2012, Fitschen was under investigation for alleged sales tax evasion, which occurred in 2009. After a raid by over 500 police officials and tax inspectors, Fitschen called the minister-president of the German state of Hesse, Volker Bouffier, complaining about the raid, saying that the incident damaged the reputation of the largest German lender.
In 2013, Deutsche Bank extended Fitschen’s contract by two years. By 2014, his compensation was at 6.66 million euros.
