Jauch acquired the Fernsicht and Marienhof estates on the Stör near Kellinghusen from the Hamburg Huguenot Camille Vidal . Until then, Fernsicht had been the headquarters of Vidal's company, which manufactured pottery in Kellinghusen.

Jauch initially managed the estate himself, before moving to Hamburg later and devoting himself to public tasks. Jauch had been friends with the Mannhardt family since he was raised at the Mannhardt Boys' Institute at Hanerau Castle, which his cousin and later brother-in-law Johannes Lührsen also visited. In 1881 he left the "Villa Fernsicht" to Julius Mannhardt as a residential building, from where Mannhardt looked after his practice in Neumünster. Theodor Storm, who was friends with Mannhardts, and Detlev von Liliencron , who was the parish governor of Kellinghusen at the time , met there in 1884 .

Jauch fought as a sergeant in the 1870-71 war in the 2nd Brandenburg Lancers no. 11 and in the First World War and still led in 1916 as captain 56-year a squadron of Landwehr in Galicia . In 1870/71 he was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd Class. Not dependent on acquisition, he moved from his estate to Hamburg in 1890 in order to devote himself to the public good ever since.

Jauch was from 1893–1895 and 1898–1915 a notable member of the Hamburg citizenship . Even a member of an old merchant family, he joined the faction of the right, which represented the interests of the upper classes. The faction of the Left was composed mainly of craftsmen , the faction of the Left Center predominantly industrialists . 1902-1904 Jauch belonged to the citizens' committee .

Jauch stood up - following the example of his aunt, the philanthropist Auguste Jauch (1822-1902), and like his nephew Robert Jauch (1856-1909) - in a special way for the needs of the poor and orphans in Hamburg. In addition to his work as a member of the Notable Parliament, he was together for almost twenty years a member of the authorities for housing maintenance and forced upbringing, member of the supervisory authority for the charitable foundations, member of the orphanage college, for this district head for Hohenfelde and Borgfelde , member of the poor college, for this head of the district I for poor relief and member of the section for the work and poor house, member of the guardianship authority, guardianship judge, chairman and honorary chairman of the institution for the deaf and dumb, chairman of the Jauch Foundation "Home for Old Men", the Nordheim Foundation in Sahlenburg , the Wilhelm-Jantzen- Foundation and other foundations.
