After his release from captivity, Hans Bauer worked for the food company Eckart (" Pfanni ") as an office clerk. Around 1949 he found a job as a mineral oil merchant and clerk at the mineral oil company “Shell” , which in 1954 leased a gas station to him in the Pasing district of Munich . After a few years he ended his tenancy and worked as a mineral oil merchant until his retirement.

Hans Bauer entered into a second marriage with Sammy Drechsel's colleague Maja, which brought him two more children, Sascha and Miriam, and a new happiness. But this connection was not permanent either. He spent the last ten years of his life at the side of Hilde Käfer, a lady from Munich's high society whom he had met in his youth and whom he had met again on his 60th birthday.

He spent his retirement u. a. with traveling and cycling, golf, fine arts and visits to the opera.
