Life

Shortly after his birth in Riedelberg near Pirmasens , the family moved to Hamburg , and finally to Munich in 1934 , where Bauer attended the Theresien-Gymnasium . After his military service in the Wehrmacht and being a prisoner of war in England, he began studying law at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich, which he completed with the second state examination. In 1952 he got a job as a trainee lawyer with the government of Upper Bavaria , shortly afterwards he moved to the district office of Viechtach as a government assessor . In 1954 he was transferred to the Neumarkt District Office.

He died on January 2, 2013 as a result of a domestic accident in Neumarkt.

politics

In the local elections in 1958 he was elected as the successor to Otto Schedl to the district administrator of the Neumarkt district. There he initially drove the structural development of the then economically weak district and primarily campaigned for the expansion of the transport and supply networks. He also initiated the expansion of the school and health system in the district by setting up several high schools, secondary schools and hospitals.

Bauer supported the regional reform in 1972 , during which the present-day Neumarkt district was created from large parts of the former districts of Beilngries , Neumarkt, Parsberg and Riedenburg as well as the independent city of Neumarkt.

In the local elections in 1972 , the CSU nominated Alfred Spitzner as a candidate, whereupon the Christian Voting Association (CWG) was founded and Bauer was the candidate who won the election. As early as November 1, 1972, he moved back to the CSU and ran again for the party in the local elections in 1978 and 1984 . In 1990 , another candidate was nominated by the CSU, but Bauer won the election again as a candidate for the CWG. Shortly afterwards he switched back to the CSU. It was not until 1996 that Albert Löhner took over the post of district administrator as a candidate for the CWG. Bauer then withdrew from active politics.
