In his quest to navigate to the North Pole by submarine, he became interested in the concept of the gyrocompass. In 1905 he founded, with Friedrich Treitschke, the company Anschütz & Co (today Anschütz GmbH) in Kiel, Germany. Anschütz was the first firm to manufacture gyroscopic navigation instruments, which Anschütz-Kaempfe designed. One of his staff was Maximilian Schuler, who made the fundamental discovery of Schuler tuning.
