He was given a huge studio near Munich in 1938. It was here that he worked on his large pieces, some as tall as sixty-five feet. His horses were destined to be placed at the Nuremberg Stadium. Because of his preference for muscular neo-classical nude sculpture, he was known among some as "Professor Thorax".
