Karel Fuchs-Robětín (, 25 January 1889 – 14 October 1941) was a Czech tennis and ice hockey player. He competed for Bohemia in tennis at the 1912 Summer Olympics. Early life and family. Fuchs-Robětín was born 25 January 1889 in Prague to aristocrat Robert Fuchs, proprietor of the paper mill "Böhmisch-Kamnitzer Papierfabriken Robert Fuchs" in Kamenice and the "Holzstoff– und Papierfabrik Robert Fuchs" in Haunoldmühle. The company exported paper products worldwide to South America, India, Indonesia, China, Japan, the Middle East and Australia. His father was awarded the Order of the Iron Crown third class. Later for  his philanthropic ventures Emperor Franz Josef I also granted him the title of noble, which allowed him to bear the name Robettin (in Czech: Robětín), Roděk or Roněk, compounded with the German prefix "Fuchs Edler von Robbetin", and also a coat of arms. Karel's mother was Hermine von Poster, daughter of the factory owner and wholesaler from Budapest Karl Ludwig Ritter von Poster. Karl had two brothers Herbert and Oswald. The former married Hanna Fuchs-Robettin (née Werfel) an thus she is the sister-in-law of Karel. Karel studied at the Czech Technical University in Prague and started  to play tennis there at his college years. After World War I the family moved from Austria to Czechoslovakia and officially changed their name to Fuchs-Robětín (a nominal form that was rejected by Austrian Aristocratic department of the ministry before). The father died in 1925 in Prague. Tennis career. At the age of nineteen he was one of the many Bohemians who competed in the international lawn tennis tournament of the Hungarian Athletics Club of Budapest. In 1919 he was a team member of the inter-club match between LTC Řevnice and LTC Černošice, a tie which they won  nine rubbers to five. Karel became a one-time national tennis champion, a feat, which he accomplished in 1920 in singles category. He represented Bohemia at the 1912 Summer Olympics in three events: outdoor singles, outdoor doubles (with Jaromír Zeman), and indoor singles. He was also entered in the indoor doubles event (with Jaroslav Just) but did not play. In 1921 he was a member of the Czechoslovak team facing Belgium but lost both of his rubbers. In 1922 he was a part of a relief match for the Verdun Restoration Fund held at Wimbledon, in which he was defeated  by Gerald Patterson in singles and again by Patterson and Rupert Wertheim in doubles with Friedrich Rohrer. The same year he played at the World Hard Court Championships but fell in the first round in singles but reached the quarterfinals of the consolation tournament but was beaten by Marius van der Feen. In doubles he met Henri Cochet and Jean Borotra in the second round but the French world class team proved to be too strong for him and his Czech teammate Pavel Macenauer. In 1923 he entered the World Hard Court Championships again but was eliminated by Roger Danet . In doubles he partnered Ladislav Žemla and lost to the French team of Pierre Canivet and R. Barbas. Despite his initial successes he retired early in 1924 although he did return to court in 1927. In 1930 he was ranked joint 14–15th shared with Felix Pipes on the official Czechoslovak rankings. Next year he slipped to joint 16-17–18th shared with Pipes and Bertrand. Ice hockey career. Unlike his brothers Karel stayed in his home country after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in 1938.

Apart from the sports interests, the Fuchs-Robětín brothers took over the family business after Robert's death.
