From 1938 he was chief conductor of the Lower Saxony Symphony Orchestra in Hanover , founded in 1934 , which he directed until 1964. Due to his extraordinary ability to assert himself against the city of Hanover and the state of Lower Saxony, he succeeded in 1950 - after most of the orchestra was absorbed into the newly founded Rundfunkorchester Hannover of the NWDR (today's name NDR Radiophilharmonie) - the re-establishment of the NSO through the financial security of the city of Hanover and of the state of Lower Saxony.
