He studied at the Industrial School in Posen, at the Prussian Academy of Arts, and as a pupil of Friedrich Drake.

Upon his return, he prepared for the Monument of Victory in the Königsplatz (now the Platz der Republik) of Berlin a bronze relief of the battle of Königgrätz. A series of decorations by him representing elementary instruction in the arts of painting and sculpture occupies a place in the entrance to the Alte Nationalgalerie (National Gallery) of Berlin, together with a frieze, 22 meters in length, depicting "The Triumph of the Artists," or the history of German art as displayed in its chief representatives. His further works include a statue of Frederick the Great for Thorn, and numerous subjects derived from allegory or classical mythology.
