He later emigrated to Palestine as a member of the "Tempelgesellschaft" (The Temple Society), arriving in 1869. He was instrumental in working for the German Templers in the Holy Land and planning the German Colony, Haifa. He was an architect and engineer and served as the U.S consular agent in Haifa from 1869 to 1908.[1][2]
