After a brief activity at the Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, he worked at the Federal Monuments Office in Vienna from 1967 to 1990 , namely as head of the museum department, as state curator of Burgenland and finally as head of the department for ground monuments. In 1990 he retired as a councilor.
