Emil Mayer was born on 3 October 1871 in Neubydzow, Bohemia (now Nový Bydžov, Czech Republic) to Leopold and Anna Mayer.[4] In the summer of 1882, Mayer moved with his family to Vienna, Austria, where “his father set up business as a merchant.”[5]

From 1891 to 1896, Mayer studied law at the University of Vienna, where he earned the Juris Doctor.

Personal life

[edit]

While still a student, Mayer left the Jewish community and converted to Catholicism. On 8 March 1894 he was baptized at the Johann Nepomuk Church (Leopoldstadt) [de] under the name Robert Emil.[4] The painter Max von Esterle [de] was his godfather.[4]

Marriage

On 6 June 1903 he married Elisabeth Deutsch (18 March 1882 – 8 June 1938).[6]
