Adolf Schroedter had an extremely versatile talent. He has earned a reputation as a painter, as an illustrator of humorous poems, as an engraver, etcher, woodcut artist and lithographer, as a political satirist and writer, as a botanist , florist and creator of charming ornaments and arabesques . It is a bit angular and baroque in the drawing, but always ingenious, ingenious and of outstanding inventiveness. His conception of Don Quixote has become typical and was praised by Heinrich Heine . Schroedter had chosen the stopper for his monogram , which he allegorically glorified in an original sheet The Dream of the Bottle .

He also shone in frieze-like compositions such as the Rheinische Bauernkirchweih (painted on gilded zinc sheet, 22 m long, 65 cm high, 1847), The Triumphzug des König Wein (1852), Rheinwein, Maitrank, Punsch and Champagne (1852), The four seasons ( 1854, Galerie zu Karlsruhe), which he executed in watercolor . He also provided illustrations for Peter Schlemihl , Musäus' folk tales , Uhland's works, etc. and for Detmold's life and deeds of the MP Piepmeier (1848). He wrote drawing as an aesthetic means of education (Frankfurt am Main, 1853) and published a school of watercolor painting (Bremen 1871).
