Antics, son of a bricklayer, learned the trade of machine fitter. He worked in Berlin metal works until 1924. He became a member of the German Metalworkers' Association (DMV) in 1918 , the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) in 1919 and the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) in 1920 . In 1924 he was Polleiter in the administrative district of Berlin-Pankow and from 1925 to 1927 he was secretary and Gauleiter of the Red Front Fighter League (RFB) Berlin-Brandenburg. In 1927 he was expelled from the KPD as a supporter of Ruth Fischer for “factional activity”. He became a member of the Lenin League , in which he remained active until 1932. He worked from 1928 to 1931 as a truck driver, then until 1945 as a foreman in Berlin-Reinickendorf .
After the Second World War he rejoined the KPD in 1945 and in 1946 the Socialist Unity Party of Germany (SED).

After the first Berlin election in 1946 , Erich Rynek was elected as his successor on December 6, 1946. From the beginning of 1947 he was secretary of the SED district leadership in Berlin-Pankow. In 1950 he became the main consultant in the SED regional leadership in Berlin and then with the magistrate of East Berlin. During a party review, he was expelled from the SED on October 5, 1951 by a special commission of the Berlin State Party Control Commission because of his earlier membership in the Lenin League.
