In 1920, he accepted a teaching position in Wagrain. A chronic lung complaint ended this activity, however, after which Waggerl dedicated himself to writing. In the beginning he wrote novels, and then later turned to shorter prose forms. Until his death in 1973, K. H. Waggerl lived in Wagrain, SalzburgerLand. The house where he once lived and worked is now home to the Waggerl Museum.
