His grave in Heidelberg

Under the pseudonym George Taylor he wrote several historical romances, especially Antinous (1880), which quickly ran through five editions, and is the story of a soul "which courted death because the objective restraints of faith had been lost." Klytia (1883) was a 16th-century story, Samen (1884) a fictional work of 19th century Germany, Jetta (1885) a tale of the great immigrations, and Elfriede "a romance of the Rhine".[1]
