XML Schema: how to ensure a "fixed" element to be not empty?

I have the following code:

<xs:element name="Lang" fixed="de-CH" nillable="false">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:language">
      <xs:minLength value="5"/>
      <xs:maxLength value="5"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

I would like to ensure that the element Lang is not empty. If I delete fixed attribute, the validation for non-emptiness works. Is it a way to do it without removing fixed?

What about 

<xs:element name="Lang">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:language">
       <xs:enumeration value="de-CH" />
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>

I managed to achieve both fixedness and non-emptyness using xs:pattern restriction:

<xs:element name="Lang">
  <xs:simpleType>
    <xs:restriction base="xs:language">
      <xs:minLength value="5"/>
      <xs:maxLength value="5"/>
      <xs:pattern value="de-CH"/>
    </xs:restriction>
  </xs:simpleType>
</xs:element>
