After attending high school, he first worked as a bank clerk and foreign language correspondent in London. He then studied law in Leipzig and Tübingen, completed his doctorate in 1906 at the University of Tübingen and passed the assessor exam in Stuttgart in 1908. He began his professional career at Thyssen steel works in Krefeld. In 1909 he was appointed as an authorized signatory at Thyssen's company headquarters in Mülheim an der Ruhr. Here, among other things, he was responsible for advising August Thyssen on the restructuring and reorganization of the entire group and the implementation of social measures.
