As a goalkeeper he was used in the championship games held under this association, from May 10, 1902 - with the renaming of the association to the Association of Berliner Ballspielvereine - under this until the end of the 1903/04 season . Since his club had to relegate to the second class as seventh of eight clubs , he moved to the BTuFC Union in 1892 with which he completed his maiden season as champions. By the end of the 1910/11 season , the club could no longer build on its earlier success.
