AnDie,

Rauter is a mystery. He is not listed in either the k.u.k. or the k.k. Landwehr lists!

This is what i could find in the trial of Rauter (which is published as a book in Holland:
1st world war, he was a voluntier and became leutnant and oberleutnant in the first Kaiserschützenregiment in Klagenfurt.
He fought in Istrië, the Piavefrotn and in Albania.

Then he startet 2x a freikorps. First at the request of the Karintische Landesregierung a freikorps of ca 2500 students and officers against "Jugoslavischen Eindringlinge".

After that he formed at the request of the provincial government of Nieder-Österreich a freikorps consisting of 30000 which occupied the Burgenland.

Then he was one of the co-founders of the Heimatschutz, who came in action twice: first in 1926 as a result of the strike ordered by Dr. Otto Bauer, then a big march in Wiener Neustad in 1928.. He then became stabschef in the völkische Heimatschutzwehr.

Since 1921 he knew Hitler and he also was a member of the NSDAP Österrreich. He became SS member and became stabführer, Stellvertreter des SS-Obergruppenführers von dem Bach Zelewski, teh Führer of Oberabschnittes Südost. (before 1939, sorry, no preciser date) I know that after the banning of the party in Austria in 1933 he left Austria for Germany. On 25 of May 1940 he was appointet as "Höhere SS- und Polizeiführer beim Reichskommisariat für die besetzte niederl¨ndische Gebiete". In this function he also was th"Generalkomissar für das Sicherheitswesen". He was in this function untill 6-3-1945 when he was seriously injured in an attack by the resistance. He was still not completely healed when he was transferred to Holland in february 1946. He was tried from april 1948 and finaly (after 2 appeals) executed on 25-3-1949.

I hope this was at least a little bit helpfull. Should you have any further questions, let me know!

Glenn, check for other variations of his surname: RAUTAR, RAVTAR or RAVTER. Also RAVBAR or RAVBER. Being born in Klagenfurth in 1895 there is a good chance that he had some Slovenian ancestors (like Friedrich Rainer, Johann Mikl -> Mickl, Odilo Globocnik -> Globocnigg) and therefore hit is possible that his surname was spelled in the k.u.k or k.k. Schematismus differently than in 1930s or 1940s, when he probably changed it to sound more German.
