Further stations of his scientific work were:

  • endovascular treatment of infrarenal aortic aneurysms (Steering Committee member of the Lifepath Study Europe)
  • Therapy of renal artery lesions
  • simultaneous endovascular and peripheral vascular surgery

Honors and memberships

Allenberg was a co-founder of the journal Vascular Surgery and a member of the editorial board of the World Journal of Surgery , European Journal of Vascular Surgery , Langenbeck's Archives of Surgery , Der Chirurg , Chirurgische Allgemeine , Trauma und Berufskrankheit, magazine for cardiac, thoracic and vascular surgery. He was the author and co-author of numerous books, publications and video films as well as co-founder of the German-Swiss-Austrian vascular training course and the Vascular International Foundation (Switzerland).

Artistic work

Jens-Rainer Allenberg is self-taught and comes from a family of artists, father painter, brother painter and sculptor. Already in the first semester in Heidelberg Allenberg opened "WERKSTATT 2" in Heidelberg together with the painter and architect Fritz Jarchov. The workshop for painting and printmaking was of great importance to him during his studies and the subsequent professional years to this day. Working as a surgeon and later as a university professor left hardly any time for a second job, while painting had become a necessary compensation. Painting fertilized his surgical work, especially with regard to innovation and new surgical techniques. Later, the painting was added to the work on sculptures, which is particularly related to the field of surgery . Painting was done using the glaze technique, oil, later also acrylic, the motif was people throughout. Sculptures were initially mixed materials, then bronze, and since around 2005 stone and concrete. In the last few years Allenberg has been involved in portrait painting, sculpture and here mainly stone sculptures made of field stone and reinforced concrete. He works in Heidelberg and for 35 years also on Mallorca in Son Barcelo / Cas Concos.
