He is most remembered in the United States for his work as an art director on the film Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans.[1] Most of his other films did not receive wide release in the United States.

His final work was 1955's Fidelio [de], where he worked as a set decorator.

He died in 1978 in Berlin.
