The pastor's son Gebauer grew up in Wilsnack and Legde . From 1880 he attended the Joachimsthaler Gymnasium in Berlin and studied from 1888 in Berlin , from 1891 in Halle history, geography and ancient languages. In Berlin Heinrich von Treitschke , Reinhold Koser , Paul Scheffer-Boichorst and Adolf Kirchhoff were among his teachers, in Halle Gustav Droysen and Alfred Kirchhoff . During his studies he became a member of the Association of German Students in Halle . He received his doctorate in Halle in 1892 and passed the state examination in 1893. From 1893 to 1894 he did military service in Naumburg an der Saale, and in 1896 he passed the teaching examination for religion. After two "seminar years" at two Berlin schools, he worked as a teacher at the Knight Academy in Dom Brandenburg from 1898 , from 1908 at the Andreanum grammar school in Hildesheim, and from 1924 at the Andreas Realgymnasium there.
