Life
He was the son of Gießen university stable master Friedrich Wilhelm Georg Balser (born February 9, 1835 in Gießen; † August 17, 1893) and his wife Franziska nee Baur (born January 14, 1842; † May 18, 1929). Karl Balser, who holds a doctorate in medicine, was his brother.

The subject of his dissertation was experimental investigations into facial and auditory impressions and their reproductions using the polyeidoscopy method . On December 1, 1930, he retired as a senior teacher.
He remained unmarried and last lived in Darmstadt, Hobrechtstrasse 7.
