There are works in Berlin, on the Darß and in Letschin , among others .

  • 1978: Märkischer Brunnen , Berlin-Friedrichsfelde
    opposite the bear shop window of the Berlin Zoo on Heinrich-Dathe-Platz. Eight abstract fountain steles made of terracotta are separated asymmetrically in the middle by a larger basin with brick fountain steles. On the sides of the large, more gate-like steles, there are women's and animal masks as gargoyles . All water connections have been disconnected since around 1992, but the sculptures are well preserved. First, the basins were filled with sand and planted. In 2011, the employees of the Lichtenberg district administration completely exposed the fountain elements, which now form a kind of art gallery.
  • around 1979: Märkische Wegkreuzze , Berlin-Friedrichsfelde, Dathepromenade

The artist, who lives here, won first prize with the 3.20 meter high bronze work. On a giant stool that is to recall the basic construction of half-timbered buildings, sits a rooster that the actual center with the elongated Anger turns. A publication in the Märkische Oderzeitung in 2012 shows that the plastic was damaged by a collision with a vehicle and that a restoration was negotiated. In May 2013 the rooster, restored in a Berlin workshop, was put back on its frame.
