Breuer studied medicine at the University of Cologne and at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn and received his doctorate in Cologne in 1921 with a thesis on "Vegetative nervous system and blood count, especially in surgical tuberculosis". He then began his medical career as an assistant doctor in the internal department of the St. Vinzenz Hospital in Cologne-Nippes . From 1922 to 1923 he worked at the Pathological Institute of the University Clinic and at the University Women's Clinic in Cologne. This was followed by twelve years as an assistant and senior physician under Otto Tilmann and Hans von Haberer at the Surgical University Clinic in Cologne. Breuer published numerous articles in medical journals.
