For the 1906/07 season he moved to city rivals BFC Germania 1888 , with whom he failed in the semifinals of the Berlin Cup competition in 1908 at the Berlin champions and later German champions BTuFC Viktoria 89 and relegated to the second division at the end of the 1908/09 season. For the 1911/12 season he rose to the first division, but the division could not be held, so he played in the second division for the Berliners until 1914. From 1914 to 1915 he worked for SC Schlesien Breslau immediately after completing his studies ; the last three seasons he completed for the Berliner SV 1892 , the last as a climber in the top Berlin division in the association of Brandenburg ball game clubs .

For the match he lost 3: 5, he had to skip school as a prospective high school graduate for the trip to Switzerland. The first national players received 20 marks in expenses in addition to the train ticket, which should be enough to pay for three days of room and board.
