In 1927 he was also a founding member of the Reich Association of the Deaf of Germany (ReGeDe), the forerunner of today's German Deaf Association . His brother, the notary Heinrich Kroner, registered the association at the Berlin district court. In the ReGeDe, Paul Kroner was treasurer and member of the board.
In 1930, on the occasion of his 50th birthday, he was honored from various sides because he was one of the most active deaf people in the deaf-mute movement at the time.
In 1933 he was expelled from all clubs because he was Jewish.
In 1938 he had to close his practice after the Reichspogromnacht , because the National Socialists had withdrawn his health insurance license .
