Life
After studying history and then doing an internship at Tagesspiegel and Inforadio 101 in Berlin, Sauer worked from 1992 to 2005 as a reporter, editor and editor-in-chief. From 1999 to 2000 he was deputy editor-in-chief of the weekly newspaper Deutsches Allgemeine Sonntagsblatt and coordinated the development of the monthly magazine chrismon , for which he then worked as deputy editor-in-chief until May 2006. When the editorial team moved from Hamburg to Frankfurt am Main, he became self-employed as a coach and trainer.
Sauer has been working as a lecturer in training and further education since 1999, mainly in the media industry, so u. a. at the Academy for Journalism in Hamburg , the Hamburg Media School , the Forum Journalism and Media Vienna as well as in the leadership program of the media training center in Lucerne .
As an author, Sauer has published specialist articles and guides on topics such as leadership (with a focus on lateral leadership ), quality management and self-organization when writing; Recently, especially on the subjects of substitution and "constructive journalism".
In 2011, Sauer received his doctorate with Anton Austermann with a thesis on the roots of the history of ideas in advice literature at the Central Institute for Continuing Education at the Berlin University of the Arts .
Sauer is co-founder of the conference series “MedienTreffenMönche” in the Benedictine monastery Königsmünster in Meschede and co-founder of the newspaper criticism salon Hamburg. He was a member of the now closed ethics council of the Academy for Journalism.
With his non-fiction book "Going outside. Inspiration and serenity in dialogue with nature" (Mainz: Verlag Hermann Schmidt 2019), Sauer is for the first time addressing a broader public beyond his previous specialist publications. Stylistically, the book ties in with the Nature Writing movement and tries to give its readers the impetus for a successful lifestyle through traveling reports (in the form of literary reports).
