In this role he worked for his colleague Ernst H. Albrecht on the productions Alarm auf Station III (1939), Meine Tante - Deine Tante (1939) and Die imperfect love (1940). In March 1940 Vorwerg became an assistant architect and worked a. a. to Between Hamburg and Haiti (1940), Germanin (1942) and the Buchholz family (1943).
Vorwerg was only able to work as chief architect after the Second World War .
