The traineeship as a shorthand typist at the Westphalian Blind Association in Dortmund was followed by work as a judicial clerk (recorder) at the regional court there at the beginning of the war . At the same time, he prepared autodidactically for his Abitur during the war years and after 1944 attended the (today) Carl Strehl School of the German Institute for the Blind in Marburg. After High School in 1945, taught Schulze until re-opening of the Philipps University in Marburg war blind in reading the Braille .

From March 1963 to December 1985 he was a federal judge in the 2nd civil senate (including company and association law) of the Federal Court of Justice in Karlsruhe and the first blind judge to be appointed to this office.

After his retirement, he traveled to India, Thailand, China, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland and Belarus , among others for the Christoffel Blind Mission (CBM), to improve help for the blind, and published several guides for the elderly and the blind.

Marga Schulze Foundation

In 1997 the Schulze couple founded the non-profit Marga Schulze Foundation based in Karlsruhe. The purpose of the foundation is to support blind and visually impaired girls and women in Africa and Asia. Both brought in all the unnecessary money and have been supported in the same way by his sister Gertrud Schulze since 2003.

The Foundation promotes on the Christian Blind Mission training in life skills, orientation and mobility, computer skills and self-defense and offers participants the same lectures on women-specific topics. These presentations are summarized in a Handbook for Women with Visual Impairment in Braille, which the All India Confederation of the Blind is distributing in Asian and African countries. Through the Christoffel-Blindenmission and the Inter-Mission Industrial Development Association , the foundation supports blind and visually impaired girls and young women during their training at secondary schools, universities and computer courses in India. It also distributes Braille literature on AIDS prophylaxis through the United Bible Societies . The Marga Schulze Award is given to people who stand up for the group of people to be promoted and was first given in 2006 to Mr JL Kaul as General Secretary of the All India Confederation of the Blind and the Asian Blind Union .

After the death of his wife in February 2010, Schulze continued to run the foundation on his own, which, upon his death in September 2013, became the property of and is managed by CBM.
