In 1911 August Albert became editor-in-chief in Constance . From 1926 he worked in the press office of the Baden State Ministry in the Ministry of the Interior. After the National Socialists seized power , he was dismissed from civil service in 1933. Since he was a trained newspaper editor and was not taken into service as a so-called party book official for party political reasons, he fell under special regulations of career law due to function. He was therefore dismissed on the basis of Section 4 of the Professional Civil Service Act (BBG) for political unreliability. Albert only received a small transitional allowance. He then ran a sawmill in Hofolding . After the end of the Second World War , August Albert was reactivated as a civil servant and rose to the higher government council . After the end of his civil service career, he lived in Hofolding.
