Early life

After the emigration of Karl-Anton Bauer to Australia, the child lived with his mother, who, thanks to a successful business and care, managed to provide for the upbringing and education of her son.

He studied in Lycée Louis-le-Grand. After graduating, Bauër made an attempt to get a medical and legal education, to no avail.
