In 1905 he was engaged by the Berliner Theater in Berlin. In addition, he later worked on other stages in Berlin, including the Grand Theatre, the comedy House and German artists house.

Only in exceptional cases he has starred as 1920, the figure of the Schneider Wibbel in the eponymous film and 1926 the shoemaker Wilhelm Voigt in The Captain from Köpenick. Picha is buried in the municipal cemetery Eythstraße II in Berlin- Schöneberg.
