He was born in Woldisch Tychow, Pomerania, Kingdom of Prussia and spent most of his life in the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania region where he was music teacher at the Franzburg Teachers' College and in his later life organist and composer in Anklam. He is most well known for his Opus 5, 58 Vor- und Nachspiele ("58 Preludes and Postludes"), completed in July 1889 in Franzburg. The work demonstrates a remarkable gift for melodic organ compositions, bridging traditional church music and the late 19th-century romantic music era.[1]
