From 1924 to 1939 he taught as professor for mineral processing and mining at the Bergakademie Freiberg and director of the institute for processing and mining. In 1927, a processing laboratory designed according to Madel's plans was put into operation. From 1935 to 1937 he was the rector, although Madel was not a National Socialist . His election should prevent a candidate from the NSDAP. In November 1933 he signed the German professors' confession of Adolf Hitler . Madel was killed as an officer in the Wehrmacht after being wounded in the first days of World War II. His successor Werner Gründer (1902–1962) was appointed professor for mineral processing and director of the Institute for mineral processing and mining with effect from April 1, 1942.
