Shoemaker as a Lusatian

In the summer semester of 1837 he moved to the University of Leipzig . On June 27, 1837 he was reciprocated in Franconia's cartel corps at that time, Lusatia . He fought four lengths . His disputes with a Leipzig Saxon led to cumbersome arbitration proceedings before the Senior Citizens' Convention in Leipzig and the General SC Jena-Leipzig-Halle , which sentenced him to deprecation in the last instance on July 29, 1837 . After an argument with a brother Corp (Weyers) threatened him in the Lusatia Dimission . He got ahead of her by voluntarily resigning.

Ulm

After graduating in 1842, he was appointed first class trainee lawyer. After an election campaign conducted with modern means such as the brochure “The citizens of Ulm” for the favor of the citizens of Ulm, he was elected mayor of Ulm in 1845. As early as October 20, 1845, he received a written reprimand from the district government because of the public reception of Johannes Ronge in Ulm, a Catholic priest who contributed significantly to the establishment of the Federation of Free Religious Congregations and is considered the founder of German Catholicism. In the opinion of the district government, Schuster had exceeded the legal sphere of activity due to his participation in this ceremony and was reminded to maintain the strictest impartiality in confessional matters.

During his tenure in 1847 the Langmühle was looted and the German Revolution in 1848/49 . In addition, the city's water supply was renewed and the construction of a gas works was planned. Ulm was connected to the Württemberg railway network in 1850, which offered the city excellent economic development opportunities. After the revolution, the municipal council was regularly re-elected; but the mayor remained in office for life, strengthening his position vis-à-vis the local council. He was initially popular with the people of Ulm because of his active and competent role, but was criticized towards the end of his life for his sometimes quick-tempered character. Above all, his advocacy for a concordat with the Pope resented the evangelical upper class of the city. He was not 46 years old.
