As early as 1979 the director was able to distinguish himself as Sigi Rothemund with the Christmas series Timm Thaler . With the series Hafdetektiv , in which Klaus Löwitsch played the leading role, he took the first steps in the crime scene before he - again with Löwitsch in the leading role - directed Peter Strohm . This was followed by series works for Die Männer vom K3 (1992) and Alles bes Mord (1994). In 2002, after two episodes, he took over the film series Donna Leon from Christian von Castelberg and has directed all episodes ever since. He also realized episodes for Ein Fall für den Fuchs (2005) and Commissario Laurenti (2006).
