In 1977 he was the winner of a cabaret authors' competition by the Ministry of Culture , and in 1978 he was awarded the medal for services to the artistic people of the GDR . In 1981 he switched to the Leipziger Pfeffermühle cabaret in Leipzig , where he worked as a dramaturge and author. From 1981 to 1984 he did (another) distance learning at the literature institute "Johannes R. Becher" in Leipzig. In 1993 he was managing director of the cabaret "Leipziger Pfeffermühle" GmbH .
