He was among the leading figures of Austrian journalism in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. For many years he served as parliamentary correspondent for the newspaper Neues Wiener Tagblatt. He gained considerable popularity as a result of his literary and observational talents. He had contacts with a number of politicians and received many awards.
