Here in North Friesland he developed an extensive activity in the field of cultural policy. In 1926 he wrote the Bohmstedt guidelines , which, under the heading We North Frisians are German-minded, on the one hand demanded the maintenance and promotion of the North Frisian language and culture in schools and churches, and on the other hand rejected recognition as a national minority . The guidelines were signed by over 13,000 people in a short space of time. In 1927 he became chairman of the North Frisian Association for Local Studies and Homeland Love . In 1930 he worked at the Frisian Congress in Husum to found the first Frisian Council for North, East and West Frisia.

From April 1946 he was an intern of the CDU parliamentary group and was a member of the Committee for People's Welfare and the so-called Euthanasia Committee . From 1945 he was a member of the district council of Südtondern several times , until 1949 as a CDU, from 1957 as a FDP member . He rebuilt the North Frisian Association and was one of the founders of the Schleswig-Holstein Heimatbund (SHHB) in 1947 , of which he was chairman until 1949. In 1952 he was a co-founder of the German Home Federation in Telgte .
