As the festschrift says, “his 91-year-old daughter vividly described the time of his ministry. The war and post-war years would have put stress on the headmaster, but after that he would have achieved his greatest goal for the school, and that would have made him proud and happy: the humanistic branch was added to the existing secondary school. ” In World War I he received the Cross of Merit for War Aid (Prussia) .
