Bauer was born at Kusel in the Palatinate region of Germany. As a schoolboy, he first visited the Alps on a cycling tour through the Dolomites via Bolzano and Merano to Lake Constance.

His interest in climbing continued as he studied law in Munich. Travelling on a tight budget with friends he tackled many of the classic climbs in central Europe. In 1928 he visited the Caucasus with three friends, where they climbed to the summit of Dykh-Tau - second highest peak in Europe. In 1929 he led a team of nine German Mountaineers in a first attempt on Kangchenjunga.

In 1932 Bauer won a gold medal in the art competitions of the Olympic Games for his "Am Kangehenzonga", an account of his 1931 attempt to climb the Himalayan peak Kangchenjunga. Followin
