He then worked in an architectural office and as a designer in industry (Maschinenbaugesellschaft Augsburg-Nürnberg).

In 1904, Rauch got a job as a production engineer and operations manager at the Munich municipal utilities. At that time he was appointed senior town planning officer.

After the First World War , Rauch began to work in the Bavarian People's Party (BVP). In 1919 he took over a political office for the first time as a member of the Munich City Council, of which he was a member until 1924. In March 1923, Rauch entered the Reichstag of the Weimar Republic as a replacement, in which he received the vacant mandate of the member of parliament for constituency 27 (Upper Bavaria-Swabia), Wilhelm Mayer . In the elections of May 1924 he was elected as a member of the constituency of Upper Bavaria-Swabia. In total, he was a member of the Reichstag for exactly ten years, until March 1933, and was confirmed as a member of the Reichstag five times during this period.

From July 1932 to March 1933 Rauch held the office of 2nd Vice President of the Reichstag for two electoral terms. As president of the Reichstag officiated Hermann Goering from the NSDAP, as first vice president Esser from the center.

In August 1933, Rauch was able to return to the Reichstag for a short time in the replacement process for Eugen von Quadt for three months on the Reich election proposal before he finally resigned from it in November 1933.

In addition to his official political functions, Rauch also held a number of honorary positions: He was 1st Chairman of the Central Committee of Munich Catholics (Catholic Action Committee), member of the central board of the People's Association for Catholic Germany and its chief executive in the Munich district.
