Afterwards he was guitarist at Berlin theaters, orchestras and at the opera. After the war he moved to the Netherlands , his father's homeland, although he did not speak a word of Dutch . He taught there at the music schools in Heerlen and Roermond in the province of Limburg and from around 1950 at the Maastricht Conservatory . From 1955 he played in a duo with his master student Mijndert Jape , who received the first state diploma in the Netherlands for guitar. Some of his guitar compositions have been published. He also developed a guitar manual.
