In 1955 he received his doctorate from Fritz Micheel . The dissertation dealt with the synthesis of the basic structure of the pyrrolizidine alkaloids . In 1962 he completed his habilitation in organic chemistry in Münster, where he became a scientific adviser and professor in 1968. In 1989 he retired, but remained scientifically active at the university.
In addition to the chemistry and synthesis of heterocyclic compounds, he dealt with the chemistry of wine (and its effects on the body including hangovers ) and wrote a book on wine.
