Life

Max Rohrer went to Munich to study and in 1907 became a member of the Corps Vitruvia Munich. Already during his student days he devoted himself to mountaineering. On June 9, 1911, he was together with Erich Wagner and his corps brother Albert Findeiß and was the first to climb the Sattelkarspitze over the southwest face. On July 19, 1925, together with Hubert Rüsch and Wilhelm Welzenbach, he was the first to climb the small church tower over the southeast face.

After graduating, he worked as a writer of books on mostly alpine topics. He wrote two novels. He also worked as an editor of historical writings, often on travel topics.

Hostel of traveling journeymen

Rohrer belonged to the lie-like association of Munich artists and art lovers, the hostel of traveling journeymen , which has met with around a dozen members in the house of his Corps Vitruvia since the boxes were banned. In their meetings, which were very similar in style and process to the Schlaraffia ceremony , they expressed their rejection of the National Socialist regime. The corps servant denounced the assembly members at the beginning of 1938 to the Gestapo , which shadowed the assemblies for almost a year and eavesdropped on them with eavesdropping devices . One day after the Reichspogromnacht there were violent words about the events of the previous night at the last meeting of the Society. Planned for a long time, the meeting participants were arrested after this meeting, which was also overheard. Eight members were able to bring the proceedings to a halt in September 1940 through skillful defense and political influence. Three others obtained an acquittal at the end of 1940. However, according to a letter from the Gestapo, two members, a senior director of studies and a specialist, were taken to a concentration camp .
