He became Korvettenkapitän (engineer) and was most recently chief engineer on the light cruiser Cologne . After the war, he moved to the Ruhr area and became chairman of the specialist committee for route expansion in the mine expansion association.

He was also instrumental in founding the Andernach working group . The Halle successor corps Saxonia Frankfurt am Main (since 1984 in Konstanz) awarded him the ribbon for his services to the re-establishment of the VAC; the Association of Old Corps Students honored him in 1966 with the VAC silver bowl . In 1974 he became a corps bow bearer of Neoborussia Berlin zu Bochum ; In 1978 he received her ribbon.
