Theo Fitzau was an East German racing driver whose single-seater career consisted of one Formula 1 start at the 1953 German Grand Prix, driving an AFM entered by fellow competitor Helmut Niedermayr. The outing yielded no points; Fitzau finished twentieth and did not complete the race. His record places him among amateur-level competitors, with a Racer Rating of 2,944.[1]

The available record captures only this one World Championship appearance. According to contemporaneous sources, Fitzau was primarily active in Formula Two racing, a common pathway for drivers of that era, but his documented career extends only to this single Grand Prix entry. The AFM team itself recorded no race wins across its index of starts and fielded five drivers total, the strongest of whom was Hans von Stuck. Fitzau is now retired from racing.[2]
