plant

Brinkschröder's extensive and varied work as a painter and sculptor is characterized by the abundance of his technical possibilities: building sculpture, art glass grinding, metal, stone, wood and mosaic work. His works show, among other things, clear connections to Cubism .

Brinkschröder's most important works include the three-meter-high windows created for Paderborn's town hall, in which the old imperial, bishop and Hanseatic city is presented: on the left the figure of the emperor decorated with medieval imperial insignia, in the middle a bishop and right the Hanseatic merchant ( self-portrait ).

Other works by Brinkschröder in the town hall are the 30-meter-long banister, the brass disks of which with different motifs structure the ornamentation of the banister infill, the wood-carved supraporte of the large door in front of the meeting room in which the destruction of Paderborn is depicted and the town hall doors with the history of Paderborn.
