In 1926 he began training for the higher library service at the Freiburg University Library and continued this from 1928 at the Bavarian State Library in Munich . After the librarianship examination in 1929, he briefly became a library assessor in Freiburg in 1930 and in the same year he became a library councilor at the Frankfurt City Library , where he became deputy director in 1933 and provisional director of the library for art and technology in 1938.
