Grod ran an architecture office in Essen , which had specialized primarily in housing developments. Office partners were Wilhelm Lang ( Lang & Grod ) and Leo Kaminski. Before and during the First World War , he designed the Bissingheim and Wedau settlements in Duisburg , which were mostly inhabited by the railway workers from Wedau .
