The most of his works are stylistically Historicism, but with influences of contemporary architecture. He studied until 1878 at the Higher Vocational School in Chemnitz and at the Polytechnic in Dresden. In 1880 he opened a architecture office in Dresden with the Hermann Weger, which existed until 1906. Untill his death in 1914, Lossow worked with his son Hans Max Kuehne.
