Kraemer created numerous compositions and often worked with Erich Zepler , with whom he had a close friendship that, despite Zepler's Judaism , continued to exist after the Nazi era . In 1952 they both became honorary members of the Schwalbe problem chess association , as they were "generally considered to be the two greatest living composers of the New German School [... and] passionate advocates of the conception of the art character of the chess problem".

The following is one of the few studies he has composed that is also a collaborative effort.
