Live and act

After graduation in 1896 at the Johanneum Lüneburg studied Mosle in Munich, Kiel and Heidelberg Law and 1900 when was Corps Vandalia active. He then entered the legal preparatory service in 1902. In 1905 he received his doctorate as Dr. jur.

In 1904 he became government advisor in Stade and in 1907 in Merseburg . In 1908 Mosle came to the Znin District Office in Ahrweiler as a government assessor and unskilled worker . From 1913 he worked for the tax office in Berlin. In 1914 he was finally accepted into the Reich Colonial Service. This was followed by the appointment to government councilor in 1916 and the entrustment with the post of district administrator in Koschmin . In 1919 Mosle was appointed provisional administrator of the district administration in Merseburg .

From 1921 Mosle worked in the Berlin Police Headquarters , where he was first head of Department II, then III (traffic police ). Over the next twelve years he was promoted to senior government councilor and in 1922 to government director.

Together with other traffic experts, Mosle undertook several trips to other large cities in order to study the experiences there for solving the increasing traffic problems. Mosle played a key role in the development of traffic regulations for Berlin and took over from New York the conception of the Signal Traffic Tower in Fifth Avenue designed by Joseph H. Freedlander , which led to the construction of the traffic tower on Potsdamer Platz on December 15, 1924 the first traffic light system in Germany was put into operation.

In his capacity as head of the Berlin traffic police, Mosle was also commissioned by the government to revise the traffic signs. In May 1925, Mosle traveled to New York with a nine-person delegation to attend an international conference on transport. In the summer of 1925, Mosle published new traffic signs based on the American model. These were partially drawn up, but Mosle's plan was overturned in April 1926 by an international conference in Paris. In September 1926 he published a new study with traffic signs, which is groundbreaking. In September 1927, the new traffic signs were published according to his specifications.

After the Prussian government was forcibly removed from office by the Reich government on July 20, 1932 ( Preußenschlag ), Mosle was initially appointed acting police vice- president of Berlin as deputy to Kurt Melcher , and was confirmed in this post permanently in November 1932.

On November 16, 1933, Mosle was retired after conflicts with Ministerial Director Kurt Daluege . His successor as Police Vice President of Berlin was the head of the Secret State Police Office Rudolf Diels .

Mosle joined the NSDAP on May 1, 1933 . He was a supporting member of the SS .

His denazification took place in 1946. Mosle then worked as a “Legal Advisor” at the US headquarters in Berlin's Clayallee from 1947-52 .
