Born in Esslingen in 1884, was admitted in Stuttgart in 1912. After losing his admission at the end of 1938, there remained for him only the possibility to act as legal counselor. From 1941 on, he became a target of the ever-increading persecutions which were aimed at people identified by it as Jews.
In 1945 he made the transition to serving as a judge. He started out as chairman of the Senate at the Oberlandesgericht Stuttgart, that very same year became president of the Landgericht, and in 1950 Oberlandesgericht Stuttgart. In the Juedische Kultusvereinigung of Wuerttemberg and Hohenzollern he held a leading position from 1954 on. He died in 1961.
