Rotter built mainly in Zurich, among other things in 1916 the Sonnegg Castle, a representative building, which with its variety of shapes and styles is typical of the dying historicism. As a convinced pacifist, he founded a "World Peace Association" in 1914. In 1917, together with Max Dätwyler, he organized the closure of a Zurich munitions factory, which triggered the November riots. He was then detained for eight weeks. In 1920 he switched from the SP to the KP, and in 1944 he joined the PdA. From the 1910s onwards he founded numerous house cooperatives in Zurich..." - translation from ' Historische Lexikon der Schweiz'].
