In 1873 he obtained his habilitation for church history, and during the following year, became a pastor at Annenkirche in Dresden. In 1884 he was named pastor at the Kreuzkirche (Church of the Holy Cross) in Dresden, then in 1910 was appointed Oberhofprediger and vice-president of the Landeskonsistorium (country consistory).[1][2]
He was a founder of the Gesellschaft für Sächsische Kirchengeschichte (Society of Saxon church history), and in 1893 was named chair at the Dresden Hauptverein of the Gustav-Adolf Vereins.[1] From 1882, with Gotthard Victor Lechler, he was editor of the Beiträge zur sächsischen Kirchengeschichte ("Contributions to Saxon church history").[3]
