In 1988 he became director of the research center for high pressure research at the Academy of Sciences in Potsdam. Geophysical high pressure research (i.e. the conditions inside the earth) was his specialty as early as the 1960s.
From 1969 he was deputy head under Hans-Jürgen Treder and from 1973 head of the Cosmic Physics department (renamed Geo- and Cosmos Sciences from 1973) of the Academy of Sciences and therefore handed over the management of the ZIPE to Heinz Kautzleben .
