He created the parish church of the Assumption of Mary in Scheinfeld (1766–71), the nave of the parish church of St. Peter and Paul in Bütthard (1769–71), the old parish church of St. Jakobus (1772–75) in Bad Kissingen , the branch church of St. Maria in Rengersbrunn (1777), the parish church of St. Valentinus in Rohrbach (1776–1778), the parish church of St. Georg in Zellingen (1785–87), the well construction in Bad Bocklet (1787) and the former rectory in Bad Kissingen ( 1791).
