After he had already appeared in numerous silent films , he was employed even more in the sound film since the early 1930s as a supporting actor . The rather skinny and inconspicuous actor embodied all kinds of marginal characters in German films of the time, such as the postman in Auf Wiedersehn, Franziska , bookseller in Achtung! Enemy hears with! and a gnome in The Three Codonas . He played his undoubtedly most important film role in 1929 as the rocket designer Prof. Manfeldt in Fritz Lang's future drama Woman in the Moon .
