From 1914 he is a pastor in Raach near Gloggnitz.

As pastor in Raach near Gloggnitz, Bez. Neunkirchen/NÖ receives a fine in 1943, because he added the following joke:A child asks his father what Schmalz is, what the father says: Schmalz was the bread spread of the unemployed in the system age. [= state of affairs].

Because he heard illegally senders of enemies and passed on the news, he was released in 1944 for "Broadcasting“ taken in custody. After that he is again a pastor in Raach am Hochgebirge until his end of life.
