After attending a school in Achim, a preparation institute in Diepholz and a seminar in Stade , he became a teacher in what is now the Bremen district of Lesum . Even in his early years he studied, inspired by Albrecht Poppe , mites . He continued this work even after his years of service in the military. Afterwards he was a teacher at a school in the then independent municipality of Bierden . Since 1909 he was a teacher at the Hanoverian prison . There he used the local opportunity to continue his education at the University of Veterinary Medicine in Hanover . Here he began to study lice intensively . After he had graduated as a middle school teacher in 1913, he was transferred to the upper secondary school in Hildesheim . However, he was only able to take up the position after the First World War . Due to his membership in the SPD in Hildesheim and his post as senator there, he was less and less able to devote himself to science and he also gave up teaching. In 1933 he was deposed by the National Socialists .

After that he lived for a while in Wehningen near Hanover , then in Quelkhorn and finally from 1936 back in Achim. In the following years he was able to devote himself completely to science and gain valuable knowledge in the field of anopluras . He also devoted himself to his personal genealogy and was also active in horticulture and small animal breeding. After the Second World War , he was rehabilitated in his political position at the age of 63 and was given the post of district administrator in the Rotenburg (Wümme) district . Only after a few weeks in office did he have a heart attack from which he finally died.

A street in the Achim district of Bierden is dedicated to him.
