In 1914 he moved to Hof/Saale. From 1914 to 1918 he joined the German Army and fought at the western front. During that time he painted several postcards for the imperial army. From 1918 until 1962 he lived in Hof/Saale, where he died on 3 November 1962.

His most famous works have been the decoration of the church of St. Mary in Hof/Saale in 1925, the war memorials at the chapel of Marlesreuth, the paintings for the entrance hall at the former Panda shoe manufacture in Naila.
