He heard of the Faith at a lecture given by William Herrigel likely in Carlsruhe, Germany. He was among the group of Christian Scientists that enrolled in the Faith. Later he introduced his father-in-law, August Forel, to the religion. His wife, Marta Brauns-Forel, was also a prominent member of the German Bahá'í community. He was survived by her and their five children when he drowned while on a rafting trip.
