In 1922 he joined the board of directors and finally became chairman and international secretary of the International Organizations of Food Workers and Hotel and Restaurant Employees (IUHCR). At the congresses of the International Trade Union Confederation , he represented the General German Trade Union Confederation several times as a delegate .
From 1920 to 1933 he was a member of the Provisional Reich Economic Council (VRWR). In 1930 he resigned from the board of the ZVHRC for reasons of age. His successor as chairman was Fritz Saar . Until the dissolution of the unions by the National Socialists , he remained a member of the VRWR and secretary of the IUHCR. On October 30, 1933, he was taken into protective custody on suspicion of being involved in anti-state activities and imprisoned for two weeks in the Oranienburg concentration camp .
