He was a member of the SPD from 1919 to 1933. He worked for his party as a district leader and, after the Second World War, as district chairman.

He also had to quit his job. Despite personal imprisonment and persecution by the Nazi regime, he applied to join the NSDAP in 1939 . This request was rejected in 1940.

After the end of National Socialism, he rejoined the Social Democrats and was elected to the first freely elected citizenship for his party in 1946 . He only sat in the Hamburg parliament for the first electoral term (until 1949) and then left.
