The earliest work by Johann Georg is the altarpiece in the Church of St. Laurentius in Bergstetten near Laaber , which he painted when he was 20 years old. He also various originate votive paintings , so one of 1796 from the Miesberg Church in Schwarzenfeld and two in the Kreuzberg Church of Schwandorf (destroyed in the bombing Schwandorfs on April 17, 1945). The left altarpiece in the plague chapel at Auberg near Kallmünz (VIII. Station of the Cross) dates from 1798. In the parish church of Kallmünz he set the figure of Mary with child in 1813, the tabernacle in 1815 and the four statues on the high altar in 1826. In 1816 a way of the cross (oil on sheet metal) was created for the way of the cross in Burglengenfeld . In addition, he presumably painted the Mariahilf picture from 1817 in the chapel “Our Dear Lady” in Fischbach near Kallmünz .
Between 1798 and 1803 Hämmerl recorded places in the former Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg in 70 pen drawings ; Exceptions are the Hofmarken zu Lauterbach, Unterweikersdorf and Oberbechingen outside the duchy. He made views of 46 places, court marks, hammer locks and monasteries, with two images of 25 places each. The pictures are available in two series: One consists of the 28 graphics in watercolors that are kept in the Historisches Museum Regensburg , the other 43 graphics, which are privately owned, have a sepia tint and are slightly larger. A client for this work is not known, the family of the Tänzels, who u. a. was resident in Dietldorf and Oberbechingen and had family ties to the owners of Lauterbach and Unterweikersdorf. The work also continues the series of approx. 1000 copper engravings by Michael Wening , which he made on behalf of the Bavarian Elector Max Emanuel for the rent offices in Munich , Landshut and Straubing .
