Large articles in radio magazines such as Hörzu or the publication of a record he designed on the equestrian sport, On Handling Horses (1961), on which a number of prominent German equestrian athletes such as Heinz Pollay and Hans Günter Winkler contributed.

Contemporary television criticism saw him as “ the lively portrayal of tournament sport who, with Hanns Stein, formed a hard-to-beat duet of experts, enthusiasts and at the same time enthusiasts. “ Die Zeit called him a“ master speaker ”. In addition, he was described as a “critical” sports journalist whose “own thoughts” on equestrian sport “often received both friendly recognition and unfriendly rejection”.

He wrote written articles for racing as an editor of a specialist magazine or for publications such as Robert Lembke's book about the 1960 Olympic Games . In addition, he made a substantial contribution to the content of the equestrian primer We go to the tournament (1957).
