Some of his notable sculptural subjects included figures such as Urpflüger, Heldentod, Säugling, Tannenlandschaft, and Tänzerin.

His commissions included large-scale wood reliefs for ocean liners, such as those on the Bremen and the General von Steuben, as well as a massive relief for the Reichsluftfahrtministerium in Berlin.

In addition to his public monuments and reliefs, he produced various bronze sculptures and worked with materials like granite.
