From the year 1869, he worked as a breeder of table grape and dwarf fruit. In 1874, he was appointed director of the fruit and horticultural school in Brumath near Grafenburg (Alsace) and in 1879 was appointed director of the newly opened "Royal Prussian Teaching Institute for Fruit and Viticulture" in Geisenheim, leading this institute until 1903.
