He was illegally removed from his position following the dismissal of the Prussian government in the July 1932 Preußenschlag, and was briefly imprisoned by the Nazis both in 1933 and 1944. After the Second World War, he was appointed head of police in Greater Hesse by the Americans. He was President of Police in the Hessian capital Wiesbaden from 1948 until his retirement. (en)
