Besides regional studies on the Harz mountains in Germany, Rumania and the French island of Corse, he published taxonomic studies of Verrucariaceae. A biography (in German) was published by Hermann and Mattick in Verh. Bot. Ver. Prov. Brandenburg 79: 192-195, 196-198 (1939). His herbarum is kept in B.
