In 1777 he made the first tour to guest performances through Germany , headed the Gotha court theater for almost a year after Ekhof's death and after its dissolution in 1779 went to the newly established electoral national theater in Mannheim, where he was the first, Schiller's Karl Moor and Fiesco played.
