From 1879 he worked in the municipal administration. From 1885 until his retirement in 1908, Wagner was mayor of Plauen.

Together with Oscar Metzner, Wagner was the founding father of the Vogtland Tourist Association (today the Association of Vogtland Mountain and Hiking Associations ). From 1894 to 1897 Wagner was in charge of the management of the central committee and thus chaired the Association of German Tourist Associations.
