The drummer, like Jens Weißflog, from the Ore Mountains community of Pöhla learned to be an electrician after attending primary school.

In 1952 he received a delegation to the German University for Physical Culture (DHfK) in Leipzig , where he was able to catch up on his Abitur and studied sports science and education.

As a qualified sports teacher in winter sports, he began his coaching career in 1957 as a junior coach at SG Wismut Johanngeorgenstadt and a little later at SC Traktor Oberwiesenthal . In 1964, the German Skier Association appointed him the association trainer of the German Democratic Republic in the Nordic Combined . He looked after the athletes Andreas Kunz , Karl-Heinz Luck , Claus Tuchscherer , Ulrich Wehling and Konrad Winkler, among others . He was in 1974 on the subject at the DHfK training strategy for the Nordic combined discipline at the Olympic period from 1973 to 1976 to the Dr. paed. PhD . In 1976 he was appointed to the GDR association trainer for ski jumping , which post he held until 1981. Among his protégés were the ski jumpers Matthias Buse , Manfred Deckert , Henry Glaß and Falko Weißpflog .

After his return to Oberwiesenthal , he became head trainer for ski jumping and Nordic skiing at SC Traktor Oberwiesenthal. For a time he was the interim chairman of the SC Traktor club and the resulting Oberwiesenthaler sports club in 1990. After the political change in Germany, he took over the management of the branch of the Chemnitz Olympic base in Oberwiesenthal, which he led until 1997.
