He studied from 1902 to 1907 at the Technical University of Munich and was a member of the Corps Franconia Munich from 1903 .

Together with his cousin Hermann Anschütz-Kaempfe he was the inventor of the multi-gyro compass , the automatic ship control and the turning pointer for aircraft. The Schuler period with an oscillation period of 84.4 minutes is named after him, as is the Schuler pendulum , a compensating or minimal pendulum that is used in astronomical pendulum clocks ( Schuler clock ) . During the Second World War he carried out orders from the High Command of the Navy and the Peenemünde Army Research Center .
