Since 1899 he exhibited regularly in Munich, especially in the Glaspalast . At first he lived in Breslau again before finally settling in Munich in 1902. That year he became head of the lithographic class at the Munich Artists' Association . He also taught drawing and lithography at Heinrich Wolff's private school for graphics . He also founded his own painting school ("School for Drawing Arts and Painting") in Munich, where numerous aspiring artists learned, partly in preparation for admission to the academy.
