Was delete under construction director Alexander Schröder in Bremen several years Baukondukteur . In Bremen and Bremerhaven he was an important representative of the neo-Gothic architectural style and related motifs of medieval brick Gothic .

His main work in Bremerhaven was the Mayor Smidt Memorial Church (1853–1855, tower until 1870), one of the city's landmarks . Also the big lighthouse there (1853/54) at the New Harbor, also called Simon-Loschen-Turm or Loschenturm , the Schwoon'sche water tower in the Hafenstrasse (1853) and the Friedenskirche (1869/1870) at the Humboldtstrasse in the Bremen east Suburbs come from him.

In 1861 he converted the choir of the former Jacobi Church into the Jacobihalle restaurant , and in 1862 he designed a neo-Gothic interior for the Bremen commercial building . Both objects were destroyed in World War II.
