Of himself he claimed to have been a pretty good student. He watched in class on getting well and saved himself so learning at home.

With good results, he left school and started an apprenticeship in a textile mill his hometown, which he successfully completed in 1885. In 1887 he was called up for military service in his hometown. After he had completed his duty time when Dragoon Regiment No. 18, it remained on soldier and strove for a paymaster items. In 1889 he was transferred to the body of the Grand Duchy of company - Mecklenburg Grenadier Regiment No. 89 in Schwerin, where he also fulfill services representative and had to hold the castle guards. However, it was impossible for him to be paymaster. For this purpose, he should have to pay a deposit, but he could not muster.

There he lived in Wismar 's highway 173 and later 2, 1912 he received his official residence at the Sachsenring mountain.

He began about 1910 to publish his Low German writings - to the celebration of the 100th birthday of Fritz Reuter. His poem " A Randewuh at City Hall to Stavenhagen " was walled on the occasion of the foundation stone of the monument in Stavenhagen Reuter on November 7, 1910 at the foundation and also appeared as a reprint of Stavenhagener Buchdruckerei Beholtz.

As Reuter also Tarnow grabbed this part back on familiar Volksschwänke. The last three volumes, however, indulge in all the jingoistic patriotism.

We are renowned was his " Köster Klickermann " ( 1921). Again he fell back on childhood memories and on the interaction of school and church at that time. His love for children he brought, inter alia, in the children's book " Rueter - Püter " (1924 ) and the poetry collection " Marigold Vine " (1927 ) for expression.
