Live and act

From 1906 to 1914 Mauer attended elementary school and secondary school . He then completed an apprenticeship as a mechanic until 1917. After serving in the German Army from 1917 to 1919 in World War I , he worked as a locksmith, foreman and fitter in machine shops from 1919 to 1921.

He joined the SA in 1923 at the latest and achieved the rank of Oberführer there in November 1942. In the 1930s, Mauer took over the organization of the NSDAP in the city and district of Heidenheim . In February 1934 he became the Gau propaganda leader of the Württemberg-Hohenzollern Gauleitung and, from November 1934 to May 1937, district leader in Stuttgart . In May 1937 he took over the management of the Württemberg "Reich Propaganda Office". In this capacity he was involved in organizing the burning of the synagogue in Bad Cannstatt on November 9, 1938 . In April 1942 he was promoted to senior division manager.

Mauer entered the National Socialist Reichstag as a member of the National Socialist Reichstag as a representative of constituency 31 (Württemberg) until the end of the Nazi regime, as part of the replacement procedure for the deceased MP Eugen Maier .

Since Mauer was intended for the office of deputy Gauleiter in Württemberg-Hohenzollern, he was appointed to work in the party chancellery in the summer of 1943 and was officially transferred there in April 1944. In March 1945 he returned to Stuttgart . It is not known whether he subsequently took over the office of deputy Gauleiter.
