He was born in 1887 in Germany. He graduated as a designer and then worked in a Rhine glass factory in Cologne. In 1912 he started to work as glass designer in Rudolf’s smelter factory, which belonged to the Inwald glass company. Previously the glass factory processed glass, which should have imitated brushed glass. With the arrival of Rudolf Schröter this trend changed and he designed products, which did not deny the origin of the pressed glass. He designed the Lord, Pollax, Boule and Perforal sets, as well as many other products, which were continued by a younger generation of glass designers.
