He completed his legal training in Rhineland-Palatinate and his doctorate in 1957 at the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg to Dr. jur. In 1958 he passed the second state examination in law at the Neustadt Higher Regional Court on the Weinstrasse . 1958–1969 he worked at Röchling'sche Eisen- und Stahlwerke GmbH in Völklingen as head of the legal department and the property department. In 1970 he became a member of the board of directors of the Kreissparkasse Saarbrücken .

other activities

Rainer Wicklmayr initiated the Naturland Foundation Saar in 1976 together with his former parliamentary group colleague and Saarland state chairman of the " Federation for the Environment and Nature Conservation Germany " (BUND), Berthold Budell . For Wicklmayr, the triggering moment for the establishment of this foundation was the observation that in the 1960s and especially in the 1970s the large-scale change and destruction of habitats for flora and fauna represented the basic problem of nature conservation, to which there was no adequate response until then. As an appropriate response to the destruction of natural landscapes, Wicklmayr developed the concept of a systematic purchase of biotopes by the new foundation; According to the initiators, this offered the best protection against interventions that could destroy the landscape.

Under the leadership of Wicklmayr, the foundation has developed over the years into an active and professional institution, which, with the wholly-owned subsidiary Naturland Ökoflächen-Management GmbH, founded in 1998, took another step towards professionalizing nature conservation in the Saarland.

After 43 years, the Naturland Foundation Saar has acquired over 800 hectares of property spread over 114 protected areas throughout the Saarland. (As of 2019)

Against the background of the strong urban sprawl in the Saarland landscape, Wicklmayr campaigned for the reclamation of near-natural landscape areas by dismantling disruptive structures. At his suggestion, §6 (protection of uncut landscape areas) of the Saarland Nature Conservation Act was amended to the effect that all responsible authorities in the state must work towards "restoring uncut areas by dismantling plants that are not necessary to cut the landscape."

In order to make the implementation of this paragraph economically attractive, the Ministry of the Environment has issued appropriate funding programs, such as LENA (Landscape Unseal Activate Nature). The ÖFM has so far dismantled four emigrant farms as well as 2 campsites, 2 industrial wastelands, a game enclosure and several weekend plots and ponds. (As of May 2017). The ÖFM has already implemented the requirements of the Water Framework Directive in cooperation with the municipalities in 6 bodies of water.
