In addition to his theological work, he set up his own children's theater, played with hand puppets designed by Fritz Herbert Bross in his own theater in Paderborn and was most recently based in Rieden am Forggensee in the Allgäu . With his performances he toured the Federal Republic and 50 countries from China to Iceland and became internationally known as the “magician with the blue stone”.
