In addition to temporary works in public spaces, Fritz Rahmann's work also includes numerous objects, paintings and drawings. His way of working is the expression of a social concept of art that he developed together with Raimund Kummer and Hermann Pitz as part of the artist group Büro Berlin . In addition to a socio-political moment, it is about allowing art to take place situationally in public places where it cannot be commercialized or museumized, but also about a redefinition of the social role of artists and artistic work.

In the years after his teaching activity, Fritz Rahmann also created larger installations than classic "studio work" . Biographical aspects are also evident here. Likewise, the monumental and sentimental are no longer excluded. In his catalog Fritz Rahmann, several works 1970–2002 (Berlin 2003), Rahmann notes:

" Autobiographical moments: the attitude that only public, supposedly objective social objects should be dealt with, had been an ideological influence."
