From 1930 to 1936 she was deputy head of the Riga Cathedral Museum , from 1936 to 1944 she worked as an assistant at the Museum of Prehistory and Protohistory in Cologne under the National Socialist Walter von Stokar and from 1944 to 1945 as an assistant at the strongly National Socialist-oriented University of Posen .
