From 1901 to 1935 he was professor of geology and paleontology at the TH Braunschweig . In 1925 he became a member of the Leopoldina .

He was one of the leading experts in the paleontology and stratigraphy of the chalk of northern Germany. He especially treated belemnites , but also, for example, ceratites and fish from the Triassic .

Most of his estate and his collection were destroyed in a bomb attack on Braunschweig soon after his death in 1944.
