In 1905 he had the press house built in the Wiesbadener Langgasse on the site of the former printing house , in which the Wiesbadener Tagblatt was first published and later the Wiesbadener Kurier .
After his death, his widow Marie took over the management of the publishing house, followed by his son Gustav in 1932 .
