DI Willibald Mayr

Willibald Mayr becomes a member of the Starhemberg secondary school fraternity in Wiener Neustadt (which is later renamed Babenberg Wr. Neustadt) as a secondary school pupil. After graduating from high school, he studied electrical engineering in Vienna and joined the Amelungia student fraternity in 1919. From the founding of the student support association Akademikerhilfe in 1921 (student dormitories, e.g. Pfeilheim), he was a member of its board. In 1937, he initiated the founding of the "Academic Legion" - a temporary alliance to defend against radical left-wing forces.

After 1938, his apartment was one of the meeting places of the disbanded student fraternity Amelungia. They met here to "play cards". As Walter Caldonazzi, who was already under Gestapo surveillance, attended one of these meetings, Willibald Mayr was arrested in 1944. However, he could not be proven to have participated in the "Maier-Caldonazzi" resistance group and was released after a few days.
