During his time in the DEL, Mauer mainly played for Adler Mannheim (2007 to 2015) and EHC Red Bull Munich (2015 to 2022). With Mannheim he became German champion in 2015, and with Munich he celebrated a hat-trick of titles between 2016 and 2018. Last season, Mauer played for Eisbären Berlin. In total he made 658 appearances in the main round of the DEL, plus 128 play-off games.
