He drew for magazines, illustrated articles for various authors, produced advertising brochures for the gas company and did freelance studies of nature.

Between 1955 and 1958 he received commissioned work as a copyist .

Among other things, there are paintings in the collection of the Leipzig City Museum. The Heimatverein Leipzig has copies on permanent loan. The different painting techniques of the objects are testimony to the will and expressiveness of the painter. Pen and paper were constant companions.
