He created the Evangelical Church in Konz near Trier (1896–1897) and several residential buildings in Berlin and Nuremberg. In Braunschweig he designed a. a. the Chamber of Commerce and Industry building completed in 1910 , the Luisenstift in Ludwigstrasse (1906–1910), the chapel on the Jewish cemetery (1914) and the facade of the Litolff House, which was destroyed in World War II (1904). In the wider area he created a.o. a. the Martinskapelle in Wolfenbüttel (1917) and the Fritz-König-Stift in Bad Harzburg (1910).

Together with Otto Techow he designed the lodge house in Berlin-Steglitz, Albrechtstraße 112a. The interior was equipped with rose windows. The ceilings of the rooms were partly designed with Gothic ceiling arches. The box work took place on the upper floor in the rear part of the building, a large, blue-framed, classically designed work temple, which was equipped with an organ gallery. The lower rooms were used as a restaurant, which was also open to the population. After the National Socialists came to power, the “Bruderbund am Fichtenberg” lodge, like all other German lodges, had to disband. The lodge was also forced to sell its house and garden. The lodge house was completely destroyed in the Second World War.
