**August Schauer** (17 January 1872 – 1 July 1941)[1] was a [Gottschee](/source/Gottscheers) [Roman Catholic](/source/Roman_Catholic) [priest](/source/Priest) and publisher.

## Education

After graduating from the lower secondary school in [Kočevje](/source/Ko%C4%8Devje), Schauer attended the upper secondary school in [Novo Mesto](/source/Novo_Mesto). He then studied theology in Ljubljana and was ordained a priest on 22 July 1897.[2][3]

## Priesthood

Schauer celebrated his first mass in Kočevske Poljane on 8 August 1897.[3][4] He was initially appointed as a curate in [Koprivnik](/source/Koprivnik,_Ko%C4%8Devje),[5] and then transferred to [Stari Log](/source/Stari_Log,_Ko%C4%8Devje) in 1899.[2][6] Schauer then became the parish priest in [Topla Reber](/source/Topla_Reber) in 1901.[7] He became the parish priest of Koprivnik in 1906.[5] Schauer served as the parish priest of Koprivnik for over 30 years.[1] He was appointed a spiritual advisor in 1930.[2] A celebration was held in Koprivnik on 10 January 1936 to mark his 30 years of service as parish priest.[3] A celebration marking 40 years of his priesthood was held on 22 July 1937.[5]

## Professional work

Schauer edited the *[Gottscheer Kalender](/source/Gottscheer_Kalender)* (Gottschee Almanac) ([sl](https://sl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottscheer_Kalender)) from 1925 to 1941,[1] following the editorships of [Wilhelm Tschinkel](/source/Wilhelm_Tschinkel) (1921–1923) and Robert Braune (1924).[5] In addition to promoting Catholicism, the almanac also cultivated local history studies and the [Gottscheerisch](/source/Gottscheerisch) dialect.[5] Schauer was among the organizers of the celebration in August 1930 to commemorate 600 years of Gottschee German settlement,[1] and he delivered a sermon at the event.[8] Like most of his fellow Gottschee German clergy,[9] Schauer was opposed to the mass resettlement of the Gottschee Germans during the Second World War.[10]

## Death

Schauer died at the Leonišče Hospital in Ljubljana on 1 July 1941 and was buried in his native village of Kočevske Poljane.[1][3][11]
