Fügel started his career in Ulm and Graz; in 1940, he became a member of the Munich opera, and that was his breakthrough: for a few years, he was very successful and popular. After WWII, however, he couldn't repeat his successes, opened a café in his hometown and continued singing as a second job in concert.
