In 1917-19 he served with distinction as a physician with the 9th Army in Romania. From 1927 to 1935 he was a professor at the University of Halle.

He was the 1954 recipient of the Goethe Prize, and in 1978 was depicted on the 25-pfennig postage stamp by the East German government.

« Tu m'excuseras mignonne
D'avoir pas pu pleurer
En suivant les couronnes
De tes amis branchés
Parce que ton dealer
Était peut-être là
À respirer ces fleurs
Que tu n'aimerais pas
À recompter ces roses
Qu'il a payé au prix
De ta dernière dose
Et de ton dernier cri

P'tite conne
Allez, repose-toi
Tout près de Morrison
Et pas trop loin de moi »

Renaud, P'tite conne, in: Mistral gagnant, 1985.
