From 1967 he was employed in the central youth work in Göttingen and from 1968 with a teaching position at the local university of applied sciences in the field of social education. This was followed by the founding of Göttingen artist pubs and theaters (“Junge Galerie”) and the Nörgelbuff , in which artists such as Otto Waalkes , Hannes Wader and Ulrich Roski performed in the following years . From 1974 he lived temporarily in Tübingen , Saarbrücken and Berlin , where he organized the Tucholsky Days .

After an accident, his health deteriorated and from 2002 onwards he was no longer allowed to perform on stage. On March 23, 2011 he died in Bückeburg after a long and serious illness.
