Bauriedl worked as a hat maker and was an early member of the NSDAP . As a participant in Hitler's attempted coup , he was shot dead on November 9, 1923 by the defending state police. Bauriedl was fatally shot in the stomach and fell on a swastika flag that its bearer, Heinrich Trambauer , had wounded dropped. The statement, which is still widespread today, that Bauriedl was the standard bearer, was refuted at an early stage. The flag soaked in Bauriedl's blood later became a relic of the National Socialists as the " blood flag " , Bauriedl's name, as well as that of two other dead ( Anton Hechenberger and Lorenz Ritter von Stransky-Griffenfeld ) were embroidered in silver thread into the flag.
In the course of the reinterpretation of the events of November 1923 after the Nazis came to power , Bauriedl was stylized, along with the other people who were shot, as the " martyr of the movement". His body was reburied in the Munich North Cemetery in November 1935 in a temple of honor on Königlichen Platz in Munich, and lavishly staged funeral ceremonies took place every year (details here ). After the end of the Second World War , the crypt was destroyed by the Allied occupation troops in July 1945 and Bauriedl found his final resting place in Munich's north cemetery (grave 121-2-26).
Streets in several cities of the German Empire were named after Bauriedl, for example in Gelsenkirchen , Recklinghausen , Munich, Düsseldorf , Wuppertal , Breslau , Danzig , Würzburg , Jena , Leslau (in Wartheland ), Kassel , Leverkusen , Weiden idOPf. and Völklingen . They were renamed again after the collapse of the Third Reich. In Aschaffenburg, the seat of the NSDAP district leadership was named after Bauriedl: the former Andreas-Bauriedl-Haus at Lamprechtstrasse 21 (today Lamprechtstrasse 37).
