He studied from 1909 to 1914 at the Academy of Fine Arts, Munich, with Angelo Jank and became a master student of Heinrich von Zügel. During his studies he received both a small silver medal and a large silver medal for his works. In 1916 he was drafted into military service. From 1918 he worked as a freelance painter in Nuremberg. He primarily painted animal subjects as well as scenes depicting crafts in Nuremberg and Franconia. From 1922 he was a member of the Nürnberger Kunstgenossenschaft. Together with Carl Kellner he restored the painting Kaufmannszug on the building of the Nuremberg Chamber of Commerce in 1950.

In 1961 a large special exhibition was also dedicated to him at the Franconian Gallery in Nuremberg. He was an honorary member of the Society of the Heinrich von Zügel Friends e.
