K u c h e r studied in Vienna and was at that time a student of the well-known Catholic ethnological creed, which was grouped around the Jesuit College in Mödlingen and whose main representatives are the notorious Father Wilhelm Schmidt and Professor Koppers. In 1936 he came to Königsberg to finish his study and at that time he also held a racial political office there. At that time his offered cooperation was rejected due to the ambiguities about his person. K. stated that he had been an illegal member of the SA and a party member in Austria, and also issued a note, written with a mechanical letter, which was to confirm his affiliation to the SA. However, as the later investigation revealed, this did not correspond to the facts. In Königsberg he succeeded in becoming a press officer at the Gau des Reichskolonialbund in East Prussia. In this capacity he also held some public lectures. His doctoral thesis also dealt with the relevant topic: Colonial Policy of the Second and Third S.S00-414i
