As an advisory board and war officer of the Reichsstelle für Papier, Berlin, and as a representative of the German paper and pulp industry, on behalf of the "Reichsstellen für Pappier und Verpackungswesen", Berlin, the Reich Ministry of Economics, Berlin and the economic group of paper, paper, pulp and wood pulp production, Berlin have participated in important meetings with and lead the Slovak paper and cellulose industry.
