Between 1942 and 1946, during his military service on Crete and his captivity as a prisoner of war in Egypt, he produced numerous watercolors and several oil paintings. From 1947, he worked as a freelance artist in Nuremberg, creating stained-glass windows for churches and public buildings in Franconia and the Upper Palatinate; in 1988, he was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit.
