Fiction

In 1952 Der Marriage Doctor was published in High German , which Puls had thought of as a "pillow book for married people" - a humorous guide.

Puls soon turned to Low German and published prose and poetry. An example of this is the collection An Nordseestrand un Ostseekant , published in 1979 , which contains both forms.

In Is ja rein to dull (1975) and Dierk Puls vertellt lüttje Döntjes vun Flensborg bit Hamborg (1978), Puls collected and wrote down the briefest folk tales that were previously only transmitted orally.

Linguistics and literary studies

In 1962, Puls published a literary and linguistic work on poets and poetry in Kiel .

Visit to Emkendorf (1976) contained "Tales of the life and work of Schleswig-Holstein poets". This synthesis of story volume and non-fiction book was a great success and has been reissued several times to this day. With Hochzeit auf Helgoland (1984) a follow-up work of the same concept appeared, which now dealt with the Schleswig-Holstein artist.

Others

In 1979 Puls self-published a record with Snack un Snurren on which he reads from his works.

Furthermore, Puls was the author of several local history publications, which mainly dealt with the state capital due to his own residence in Kiel . With stories from the old Kiel (1991), Puls last wrote z. B. a book on the city history of Kiel.

In September 1997, Puls read excerpts from a work on Klaus Groth in a literature telephone designed by Lübeck's circle of authors and his friends . On the 100th anniversary of Klaus Groth's death in 1999, Puls read again on the Lübeck literary telephone, u. a. also poems from the Schleswig-Holstein classic.
