Georg Pauly was the son of the businessman Friedrich August Leopold Pauly (1824-1891) and his wife Charlotte Auguste Juliane, née Herfforth (1835-1910). He studied architecture at the Technical University of Berlin and then worked as a government building manager in Szczecin and as a government master builder in his native city. In 1896 he married Maria Luise Auguste Müller (1859–1936) from Landsberg an der Warthe .

In 1899 Pauly got a job as urban planning inspector in Kiel . In 1903 he took over the management of the building construction department of the municipal building authority as the town planning officer for building construction and building police administration. During his service, the Kiel City Theater , the Kiel City Hall and the city crematorium were built.

Pauly had a decisive influence on the appearance of Kiel. In 1909 he put through the "local statute regarding protection against the defacing of the cityscape". Under his senior construction management, the following emerged:

• the Kiel town hall
• the shipbuilding and engineering school
• the craft and trade school
• the secondary school on the Rondeel
• the Oberlyzeum Harmsstraße
• several middle and elementary schools
• the school museum
• three public baths
• the fish hall at Seegarten
• the forest nursery inn
• Buildings of the hospital
• the city slaughterhouse
• the light and water works

and several small structures.

In 1922 Pauly retired. Then he described in 1926 "The Altkieler town house and aristocratic house". It is a collection and presentation of the history of old Kiel houses with their historical use and artistic design. In it he incorporated the photographs of buildings and testimonies he had collected over decades. The State Office for Monument Preservation used it as an important source in the 1960s.

In 1925 Pauly was appointed city councilor. At the age of 63 he did his doctorate at the TH Hannover on the "Interior design of the Altkieler Bürgerhaus".
