Early Life
Franz Augsberger was the son of a hotel owner in Vienna, then the capital of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. After primary school he attended a military preparatory school for one year. However, following the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire after World War I, Augsberger went on to study and graduate in engineering and architecture.
In July 1927, Franz Augsberger joined the Steirischer Heimatschutz, an antisemitic and antirepublican organisation. Yet Augsberger found this organisation too disorganised and left it in October 1930. Instead, he quickly joined the Sturmabteilung (SA) on 30 October 1930. The same day he also became a member of the NSDAP.

Famous quotes containing the words early and/or life:
“Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man’s training begins, its probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“Every sign by itself seems dead. What gives it life?—In use it is alive. Is life breathed into it there?—Or is the use its life?”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
