During the Second World War he built up the Mountain Physiological Institute in St. Johann in Tirol from 1942 and headed the Army Mountain Medical School there. As a senior staff doctor, he and Konrad Lang took part in Nuremberg on October 26 and 27, 1942, at the conference on medical issues in distress and winter death, where a lecture was given on the "attempts at hypothermia" in the Dachau concentration camp .

In January 1944 he qualified as a professor for physical chemistry in Berlin and then taught at the University of Innsbruck.

After the end of the war, Cremer was a lecturer at the University of Heidelberg , from 1946 initially a lecturer and from 1950 an adjunct professor of physiological chemistry at the University of Mainz , where he was part of Konrad Lang's working group. In the meantime, he worked for three years at Arne Tiselius' institute in Sweden, where he helped develop solid-phase electrophoresis. In the 1950s, together with Martin Herrmann , he headed an “Institute for Caries Research”, which was founded in cooperation with several departments at the University of Mainz. After a "Nutritional Science Institute" had already been established at the Justus Liebig University in Gießen in 1951, under the provisional direction of Karl-Heinz Wagner, Cremer took over the first professorship for "Human Nutrition" in Germany and in early November 1956 became a full professor in 1960. From 1961 to 1963 Cremer headed the FAO's Department of Applied Nutrition Science in Rome , where he dealt with the food shortage in developing countries. In 1963 he made a contribution to founding the independent study course “Household and Nutritional Sciences” ( Ecotrophology ) at the University of Giessen. As director at the Giessen Institute for Nutritional Science, he also headed the "Nutrition in the Tropics" department at the Tropical Institute there.

Cremer, author or co-author of over 200 nutritional science publications, retired in 1975 and died in 1995.
