Here, after the First World War, he became a co-founder of the Dachau artists 'group (later the Dachau Artists' Association ).

Schröder, who later also took the name of his hometown, mainly painted portraits and landscapes. He achieved a regionally outstanding importance for his Dachau motifs. In the works up to World War I, a clear influence of his teachers at the Karlsruhe Academy can be seen. During these years Schröder-Tapiau mainly painted Biedermeier pieces with Impressionist brightening, later influences from Maurice Utrillo are increasingly recognizable, especially in the depiction of buildings that are characterized by strong colored surfaces. Schröder-Tapiau's color palette continued to brighten in the older work. The painterly dominance is given up in favor of a graphic construction and this is emphasized by bright colors.
