He was a member of the immediate forestry and building commission, which was helpful to the War and Domain Chamber in Halberstadt in forestry and building matters.

After the Principality of Halberstadt had become part of the Kingdom of Westphalia , he also entered the service of King Jérôme Bonaparte as a master builder and was responsible for the Halberstadt district in the Saale department.
