After the First World War he lived in Bremen and in 1930 married his wife Gertrud, b. Pahlke; He lived with her and their daughter Ulrike, born in 1943, until his death (from 1937) in his 'artist's house' on the dike in Bremen-Grolland. He wrote adaptations of ancient, biblical and Chinese texts and created the woodcut illustrations . He worked as a graphic artist and painter and made many woodcuts, a. a. for public buildings. He maintained a down-to-earth style with a very personal touch. His conception of art was an expression of a rich inner world and his free worldview, which was shaped by diverse intellectual interests.

In 1930 Ludwig Roselius commissioned him to design the story of Robinson Crusoe, the 6 large-format woodcut panels hang in the Robinson Crusoe house in Böttcherstrasse in Bremen.
