He became a theater conductor for a brief time in Königsberg before going to Berlin in 1899.

In 1910, with Willy Bredschneider he composed his first great success, Große Rosinen, produced on New Year's Eve 191,1. Somewhat prolifically, he continued composing musical comedies, farces and operettas, with including Wie einst im Mai (1913; with the songs Es war in Schöneberg im Monat Mai and Die Männer sind alle Verbrecher), Der Juxbaron (1916), Drei alte Schachteln (1917) and Die Frau ohne Kuß (1924).
