Career

In 1966 and 1967, he worked as a camera assistant in the comedy How I Learned to Love Women and the crime film When Night Falls on the Reeperbahn. In the 1970s he worked as a camera operator for various television series and television films, such as Der Fall von nebenan from 1970 to 1975 and Tadellöser & Wolff (1975) based on the novel of the same name by Walter Kempowski.
