From 1969 to 1970 he received a scholarship from the DAAD in Madrid and from 1973 to 1974 a scholarship from the Villa Massimo in Rome . In 1973 Waldenburg received the Art Prize from Böttcherstrasse in Bremen and in 1974 the Prize of the Federal Republic of Germany at the 4th International Graphic Biennale in Florence .

Water tanks, 1972

In his early work, Waldenburg directly expresses the torture of the creature through the depiction of animal bodies and skinned things as in the paintings Animal Experiment , Tempera and Oil on Linen, 115 × 110 cm from 1967 or Chicken Rearing II , Tempera and Oil on Linen, 100 × 80 cm from 1968. In these works, the painter often places his motifs individually or in pairs in front of monochrome surfaces. From the late 1960s, Waldenburg turned to depicting plants arranged in series and depicting plantation-like fields. The objects depicted are stylized and reduced to almost complete uniformity, reminiscent of patterns like in the painting Plantation with water pipes , oil on linen, 75 × 100 cm from 1973. In contrast to the flat depictions of the landscapes, which are often delimited by a horizon, the objects develop a high degree of plasticity. A little later, pieces of styrofoam, perforated sheets or architectural elements are added, occasionally in combination with stylized cameras and microphones. The artist uses machine-made food objects or consumer items such as cardboard bowls with leftover ketchup to raise awareness of the deformation and industrial exploitation of nature by humans. At the same time, the works also reflect the increasing conformism of society.

A well-known work by Waldenburg as a designer is the ejection seat from 1984/85, a chair made of gray synthetic leather on springs, which is mounted on an aluminum sheet.
