In 1852 he was at the royal theater in Berlin and then went to Kassel, from there to the Wallnertheater in Berlin . After he had also taken part in the founding of the Victoria Theater , he moved to Hamburg. There he also proved himself as a director, especially in operettas.
Guthery also worked in Amsterdam, at the Komische Oper in Vienna and in New York.
In 1891 he celebrated his 50th anniversary as an artist in Lübeck as "Piepenbrinck". With this performance he said goodbye to the stage and settled in Berlin, where he began to teach as an acting teacher.
