There he carried out plans for the redevelopment of parts of the old town from 1936 to 1939, which had become necessary to fit the Gauforum into the historical urban structure. In 1936 he took part in the exhibition "Art and Crafts in Building" in Leipzig with a few examples of the use of handicrafts in residential construction . In 1940, at the instigation of Konstanty Gutschow, he became head of the building school of the Hanseatic City of Hamburg . He was later taken prisoner.
