In 1938/39 and for a few months in 1943 he took over the pharmaceutical representation of IG Farben in Istanbul . On behalf of the company, he built the dental station and the station for dental care for the forced laborers of IG Farben in Leverkusen from 1943 and also became head of the facilities.
