Mr. Maulbeck received a thorough classical and technical education in the Fatherland, attending first the industrial schools in Amberg and Nuemberg and later the Polytechnic High School at Munich in Bavaria. In these institutions he developed those traits of character which predestined him for a professional career, and displayed a special preference for mathematics, in which he became an expert. An apprenticeship of four years at surveying in Bavaria not only determined his future course, but gained for him the technical training which he coveted as a boy and youth. In 1882 he left Bavarian Germany and came to America, and for a time was employed by the Sanborn-Perris Map Company, of 115 Broadway, New York. Subsequently he was engaged on the surveys of the public parks of that city, especially of Central Park and Morningside Park, and in this capacity achieved a high reputation for ability and efficiency. In 1888 he engaged in general surveying in Hudson County, N. J., where he has since practiced his profession with increasing success. He has been the official surveyor of the Towns of Union and West Hoboken, and has laid out many of the principal streets, squares, and public grounds in that section. An expert mathematician, he is also a man of marked artistic tastes, and in the discharge of his professional duties has displayed signal ability in the line of beautifying nature and laying out public walks and thoroughfares. In other words, he has shown a rare knowledge of landscape engineering as well as a ready and practical skill in the more prosaic affairs of surveying.

Mr. Maulbeck is public spirited and progressive. He enlisted in the Ninth (afterward the Second) Regiment, National Guard of New Jersey, stationed in Hoboken, in which he served under Colonels Hart and Stevens. He is a member of the Independent Schuetzen Corps of West Hoboken, where he resides.
