In 1963 he passed the second state examination in history and Catholic religion. From 1964 to 1967 he was a teacher at the Ratsgymnasium Münster (?) For boys.

From 1971 to 1972 he was a specialist advisor within the framework of the German-Brazilian cultural agreement, dealing with the development of a national educational television. He was expelled from the country by the Brazilian military government for allegedly misrepresenting Brazilian conditions .

There he founded teacher training at the Kerschensteiner College and as editor-in-chief of the magazine Kultur und Technik . In 1980 he moved to Berlin to become the founding director of the Museum of Transport and Technology. Due to political changes, the museum's founding ceremony did not take place until May 13, 1982. The construction of the museum on the site of the former Carl Linde ice cream factory and the former Anhalter freight station then took place in several steps. In 1996 the house was renamed Deutsches Technikmuseum Berlin.
