On the 13th day of the FAV's association in July 1920, Otto Adler was elected secretary of the works council department and thus also on the main board of the FAV.
For the Social Democratic Party of Germany, Adler moved to Hanover from 1924 to 1929 as a district councilor in local politics. After he was elected honorary senator in 1929 , he moved - in the year the National Socialists seized power - in the elections of March 12, 1933 , as a district councilor in Hanover local politics for the SPD.
