Vom Endt planned more than twenty buildings in downtown Düsseldorf, mostly commercial and administrative buildings. He also built churches and houses. He was also active as a juror in architecture competitions, in the committee of managing architects of the BDA , also Federal Council of Honor, and chairman of the Düsseldorf branch.

Von Endt preferred the historicist architectural style and used a neoclassical and neo-baroque formal language with a penchant for monumentality.
