Life
Neff studied law in Leipzig from 1874 . There he became active in the Arminia fraternity when he began his studies in 1874 . He finished his studies with a doctorate.
From 1884 Neff was first alderman in Glauchau . In 1887 he was elected mayor of St. Johann and in 1888 he was introduced to the office. In 1890 he was elected mayor of the city of Bockenheim (today Frankfurt-Bockenheim ), but he refused to accept the election due to many signs of confidence from the St. Johann citizenship. In 1893 he married Bertha Juliane Schmoll called Eyssenwerth. On October 22, 1894, he dueled with the Saarbrücken mayor Friedrich Wilhelm Feldmann because of differences in the merger of cities and was wounded in the chin. It was about the location of the district command, a military authority. Both mayors were faced with legal consequences because of the duel.
In 1898 he was a candidate for the Reichstag election for the "Liberal Citizens' Party" in the Saarbrücken district , but resigned in the course of the election campaign. In 1909 he retired with the title of Lord Mayor , which he lived from 1910 in Munich and from 1932 in Rottach am Tegernsee .
