He received his first art lessons from his father, Wilhelm, who worked as a decorative painter for the court.

After completing his basic education and military service, where he advanced to the rank of sergeant, he left home to begin his formal studies at the Kunstgewerbeschule Dresden [de].

In 1913, he completed a mural on the triumphal arch at the Marienkirche [de] in Waren an der Müritz.

He also worked as an illustrator for books of heroic German sagas and folk tales of Mecklenburg.
