Until his retirement in 1995, Busmann held a professorship at the university. In addition to teaching at the university, Busmann produced free and commissioned sculptural works, with a focus on columns and steles as well as small sculptures and plaques.

Eugen Busmann was a member of the Bergische Kunstgenossenschaft (BKG) and the West German Artists Association for over 50 years . Since 1954 he has participated in solo and group exhibitions at home and abroad.
