He taught at the University of Freiburg from 1893 to 1896, before teaching for a short time at Heidelberg University in 1896. He returned to Freiburg sometime later, and taught there until his retirement. After retiring, Schulze-Gavernitz became a Quaker and visited Philadelphia. He died on July 10, 1943.
