Above all, Fuglsang was responsible for photographing Lau Lauritzen's films . In October 1915 he accepted an invitation to Berlin and made his debut in a war propagandist strip the following year. He did his first two important camerawork for Paul Wegener's fairy tale films Hans Trutz im Schlaraffenland and Der Pattenfänger .

However, only his photographs of the literary adaptations Die Weber by Friedrich Zelnik based on Gerhart Hauptmann 's drama of the same name and Jacques Feyder's You shall not commit adultery came to him above average . after Émile Zola's Thérèse Raquin .
