In addition, he has published numerous art theoretical and art didactic articles as well as art historical research results.

A centuries-old riddle was solved.

In his most recent publication (Sophocles: Antigone. In pictures by Jürgen Bernhard Kuck) the devil's face from Königslutter appears on the cover picture.
