He wrote Praktische Beiträge zur Ohrenheilkunde, Pathologische Anatomie des Ohrs, Lehrbuch der chirurgischen Krankheiten desOhrs, and Grundriss der Otologie. He was co-editor with Emil Berthold of the Handbuch der Ohrenheilkunde; and in 1864 was co-founder of the Archiv für Ohrenheilkunde with Adam Politzer and Anton von Troeltsch. This publication was the first journal in Germany dedicated to ear disorders.
