In 1887 he was also able to lease the Wilsdruff manor and finally in 1890 he acquired the neighboring Braunsdorf manor , which included 216 hectares of land.

On his land he introduced new farming methods and tried to improve the Saxon agriculture. He published the experiences and test results gathered in his sample and test farm in Braunsdorf in numerous agricultural papers. He was particularly concerned with the subjects of feeding and animal feed. He examined u. a. the cultivation of clover hay, the establishment of an "all-purpose drying system" for the preservation and use of potato, beet and other leaves as fodder and was one of the first users of silage in Germany. He was also able to achieve some success in increasing food production. During the First World War , he succeeded in increasing the yields on his estates by using nitrogenous manure.

In a by-election for the late MP Ernst Emil Horst on April 25, 1917 in the 17th rural constituency, he again obtained a state parliament mandate, which he exercised until the abolition of the monarchy in the Kingdom of Saxony as part of the November 1918 revolution.
