After he had passed the 2nd state examination ( master builder examination ) on February 28, 1885 , he worked as a government master builder ( assessor in public construction) at the Königsberg city administration. In 1888 he became a town planning inspector in Poznan , and in 1891 town planning officer in Szczecin . In 1897 he took over the office of civil engineering in Berlin. The Lindentunnel and the north-south railway were built under his responsibility . By 1921, when he was 65 years old, around 40 Berlin bridges had been built or rebuilt. His most famous bridges include the Bösebrücke over the railway facilities at Bornholmer Strasse station , the Swinemünder Brücke over the railway facilities east of Gesundbrunnen station and the Lessing bridge between Berlin-Hansaviertel and Berlin-Moabit .
