biography

During World War I Moosbauer fought in the field with the Bavarian 15th Landwehr Infantry Regiment from 1914 to 1918 and received several awards.

The trained baker quickly made a career in politics in the National Socialist German Reich , despite his rather moderate Nazi attitude . Moosbauer (initially an SPD member) joined the NSDAP in 1923 and only four years later became its district leader. After 1925 it had membership number 14,818. In 1930 he was elected to the Passau city council, in 1932 to the Bavarian state parliament and in 1933 to the Reichstag .

On March 28, 1933, the Bavarian Minister of the Interior appointed him second mayor of the city of Passau. On April 27th of that year he replaced the previous mayor of Passau, Carl Sittler .

Moosbauer also made a career in the Schutzstaffel , where he became SS-Obersturmbannführer and leader of SS Section XXVIII.

In April 1945 Moosbauer gave the official business de facto back to Sittler due to "overloading with military-political tasks", although he was officially deposed as mayor by the Americans in May. In the course of the denazification , Moosbauer was classified by the Regensburg camp judgment chamber first as a “main culprit”, then as a “victim” and sentenced to ten years in a labor camp.
