From 1919 he ran his own architecture office in Goldap . After returning to Switzerland in 1923, he first worked with Franz Scheibler , who, like him , had studied under Robert Rittmeyer at the Winterthur technical college , and later with Hans Bernoulli until around 1925 he and Hans Hofmann founded a joint office called Kellermüller & Hofmann , which up to It existed in 1941 when his partner Hans Hofmann was offered a position at ETH Zurich and did not build for several years. After that, Kellermüller initially planned mainly industrial buildings. The final separation of the partners took place in 1952, after which Kellermüller continued to build industrial buildings, for example for fishermen in Schaffhausen, schools, churches, public buildings and settlements.
