During his apprenticeship as a cabinet maker, he lost an arm, yet he formed a climbing group with young workers and was a member of the woodworkers' association and the tourist association " Die Naturfreunde ".
Between 1919 and 1923 he worked as a polisher, dressers and slinger in the German workshops Hellerau worked there and also a member of the works council . In 1923 he joined the KPD , he was a member of the Revolutionary Trade Union Opposition (RGO) in the Deutsche Werkstätten. In 1930 he was reprimanded as a communist works council and expelled from the woodworkers' association. Before the labor court, he fought to continue working in the company.
Since he was a member of the strike leadership in 1931 , the DWH ordered his lockout, which led to unemployment. He set up his own carpentry workshop on Leipziger Strasse in Dresden.
He was also head of the singing department of the United Climbing Department , later the Saxon mountaineering choir "Kurt Schlosser" . He also worked in the civic choir "Melomanie" and in the section "Meißner Hochland" of the German Alpine Club . He was also a member of the combat community for the Red Sports Unit .
From 1933 he was engaged in illegal border work together with other mountaineers. His carpentry workshop became a meeting place for resistance fighters against the Nazi regime. A close connection developed between German and Czechoslovak worker athletes.
From 1942 he was a member of the leadership of the illegal Dresden KPD organization, which had been newly formed after numerous arrests, and established new contacts with illegally active shop stewards in Dresden and the surrounding area.
On December 3, 1943, Kurt Schlosser and other active anti-fascists were arrested. On June 30, 1944, he was sentenced to death before the 2nd Senate of the People's Court together with Herbert Blochwitz , Otto Galle and Arthur Weineck for " high treason and favoring the enemy" and beheaded on August 16, 1944 in the court of justice of the Dresden Regional Court at Münchner Platz .
The mountaineering choir "Kurt Schlosser" has had his name since 1949.
