The focus was on the history of the fort buildings of Frederick II and Charles I in addition to Arthur Haseloff's art-historical studies . The First World War and the closure of the institute in 1915 interrupted this work, which could not be resumed immediately after the end of the war.

Before the Second World War, Sthamer had made extensive use of the registers of Frederick II in his research on Hohenstaufen forts . Sthamer made transcripts and notes. He also commissioned photos.
