Hornburg mainly painted in watercolor . Their motifs came from the world of construction as well as industry and technology. Before the Second World War , she documented city views of Braunschweig and afterwards the ruins. During the Nazi era she exhibited ten watercolors at the Braunschweig art exhibition in 1943.
