Life
Bergauer was born into a family of farmers and inns. Due to his talent for music and singing, he became a choirboy at St. Stephan and also learned to play the piano and violin.

Following his urge to take the stage, from 1907 (with an interruption due to military service in World War I) he worked as an actor, singer and lecturer on the stage, in adult education centers and later also in the radio . With the exception of the Burgtheater, he played on almost every stage in Vienna. As an excellent interpreter of Nestroy , Raimund and Anzengruber , he rendered services to ancient Austrian poetry.
In addition to his work at Viennese private theaters, Bergauer dealt with Viennese cultural history.
