Life

He came from a Protestant family in Breslau. He spent his childhood in Carlsruhe O / S . From 1893 he lived in Opole, Krakauerstrasse 34a, where he founded a photo studio. Through his portraits he gained recognition among the population and the aristocracy of the German Empire. For several years he photographed the crowned heads, such as Kaiser Wilhelm II when he visited Moschen . In later years he portrayed Field Marshal Hindenburg, among others .

Frequently toured Glauer Silesia by bike and later by car. He was interested in the villages and their people there. In 1926 Glauer decided to renovate his house in Opole - the well-known architect Heinrich Lauterbach was entrusted with this task . The house became a meeting place for Opole's intellectual and artistic elite. Among other things, there were meetings of the Eichendorff community in Opole . There were often art exhibitions. In addition to photography, Glauer also published the story of his youth in Carlsruhe O / S, published in 1934 in the Oppelner Heimatkalender .

The artist's tomb, which is no longer preserved, was in the cemetery on Wrocław Street (ulica Wrocławska).
