During the German occupation of Ukraine he played in the German Theater in Odessa. When the Wehrmacht withdrew in 1944, he was resettled and was still a functionary of the Hitler Youth in Troppau .

After the Second World War , he played at the Chiemseer Bauernbühne from 1945 to 1947, then until 1949 in Sondershausen , 1949/50 in Greifswald , 1950/51 at the Landestheater Altenburg , 1951 to 1953 in Erfurt and 1953 to 1955 in Halle .

He also made guest appearances in Karl-Marx-Stadt and Dresden . In the 1980s, he increasingly relied on Soviet authors who were critical of the system.
