Neusser completed a commercial apprenticeship and completed his military service. In April 1943 he volunteered for the SS , something that did not appear later in his résumés . On January 30, 1944, he was promoted to SS-Unterscharführer . From September 1944 he attended an SS Junk School , an ideological cadre forge of National Socialism . After two further promotions, he was finally elevated to the rank of officer on January 30, 1945 as SS-Untersturmführer .

After the Second World War , he joined his father's master glassmaker's business in 1947 and passed the master's examination in the glass trade in 1952 and the master's examination as a glass cutter in 1955. As early as 1953 Neusser had started his own business as a master glazier and was subsequently involved in professional representation. From 1970–1980 he was federal guild master of the Austrian glass industry and from 1972–1993 he was also chairman of the trade section of the Vienna Chamber of Commerce . From 1981 Neusser was a member of the Vienna Business Development Fund, from 1989 a member of the board of the WWFF. In 1975 he was given the professional title of Commercial Councilor.

After his death in 1994 Neusser was buried in the Baumgartner Friedhof (group 21, number 533).

politics

Neusser became involved in politics from 1962, initially as a district councilor in Vienna's 4th district council, Wien-Wieden, and on October 25, 1964, he switched to the Vienna municipal council and state parliament for the ÖVP , to which he was a member until April 24, 1983. On November 23, 1973 Neusser was elected by the local council in the city ​​senate and state government and was a member of the governing body of the Vienna city administration until December 9, 1991.

Neusser was a member of the city senates and state governments Gratz II , III and IV and Zilk I and II . Since the SPÖ held an absolute majority in the local council during this period, Neusser remained as a (non-executive) councilor without any departmental responsibility.

In 2001 the Wilhelm-Neusser-Park in Vienna-Wieden was named after him. The name was changed to Wanda-Lanzer-Park (after Wanda Lanzer ) in 2018 .
