	From 1902 until 1928, he was a Professor at the Royal School of Art. In 1903, he married Theodora Mozer (1871-1947), the daughter of Dr. Alexander Karl Wilhelm Mozer (1841-1910), a member of the Medical Council. They had no children. During this time, he painted portraits, still-lifes, landscapes, altarpieces and frescoes. Most of his paintings are in private collections. Many, it is said, were bartered to supplement his teaching income. He was, however, able to begin building a summer residence near Malchin in 1909.
