In 1946 she began her doctoral thesis on the sulfation of xylans with Elfriede Husemann at the Institute for Macromolecular Chemistry in Freiburg . She then did research and taught at the institute and led a large working group until she retired in 1985. She has been recognized internationally for her polysaccharide research and has published a large number of technical papers.
