Life

Like his father, he was active in the Corps Bavaria Munich . As early as 1855 he was employed by the royal mint in Munich. Shortly after completing his studies, he married Franziska, née Hutter, who was five years his junior and with whom he had five daughters. In 1856, Schauß began his doctoral thesis . In it he goes into detail about Austria as part of Germany . His doubts about the introduction of paper money read prophetically :

"The first assumption, however, under which paper money alone can be useful at all, always remains that one does not exceed the limit up to which advantages are connected with it, and beyond which the greater disadvantages occur."

- Emil von Schauß (1857)

To the Dr. phil. Doctorate , Schauß was on November 1, 1858 at the Kgl. Permanent employee at the Bavarian Main Mint . He advanced to a coin cutter (1867) and coin orardein (1870).
