Life
Döring, the son of an insurance director, should actually turn to the engineering profession after graduating from high school. However, since his appealing bass voice showed up early on, he persuaded his father to attend a music and singing school in order to be trained as an oratorio and concert singer. He then frequented the Stern Conservatory , where he became a student of Louise Radecke , Adolf Schulze and Jenny Meyer , until he later completed his studies with Gustav Gunz in Hanover.
On September 1, 1884, he made his debut as "Kaspar" in the Freischütz in Aachen, where he was the first bass player until 1885.

He then worked at the Court Theater of Kassel (1898–1902), again at the Mainz City Theater (1902–1903), at the Wroclaw Opera House (1902–1908) and at the Danzig City Theater (1908–1909).
Since the summer of 1891 he sang at the Bayreuth Festival , a. a. from 1891 to 1892 as "Landgraf" in Tannhäuser and as "König Marke" in Tristan , in 1894 again as "Landgraf", also as "König Heinrich" in Lohengrin and as "Gurnemanz" in Parsifal .
