[5] Bauer und Arbeiter was a significant feature in the organizing of ideological work amongst the German population in the Transcaucasian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic.

[1] It covered domestic, economic and cultural issues of the urban and rural German population of Azerbaijan and Georgia.

The focus of the newspaper was more directed towards household and day-to-day issues than politics and was characterized by a balanced tone, a fact that made it popular amongst German colonists.

In September 1924 a private publishing company named 'Bauer und Arbeiter' was set up in Baku by Erfurt, P. Kulfeldt and Schoenberg, with the stated goal of printing material for the German Section of the Communist Party.

[5] Whilst the newspaper was rapidly gaining readership during its short lifespan, Bauer und Arbeiter was promptly closed down on 5 November 1924.
