His first success at national level came in 1937, when he was runner-up at the German Athletics Championships to Julius Müller. He only reached the national podium on one more occasion, in 1939 when he was second to Austria"s Josef Haunzwickel (who competed due to the Anschluss). Given the onset of World World War II, he did not compete at any further international athletics competitions and the European gold medal remained the highlight of his short career.
