job

After a few years he became the headmaster's deputy. In 1982 he took over the management of the school , which has since been expanded into a grammar school. Through its involvement in school sports, the school entered into cooperation with many local sports clubs in order to give particularly gifted students training opportunities in their preferred disciplines outside of school lessons. This led to numerous successes in school sports competitions. Events such as the skiing for middle and high school students, which has been part of school sport since 1980, or the soccer tournament for former students that has been taking place since 1986, for which he donated a trophy, were set up at his instigation.
