After graduating he worked from 1849 to 1850 assistant of Johann Baptist Chiari and then went to Gebärklinik for midwives, where he worked until 1854. In 1858 he was awarded the doctorate at the University of Vienna. After he had been taught at the Viennese Josephinum since 1855, he followed the call of the University of Vienna in 1861, where he took over the newly constructed second obstetric - gynecological clinic.
