Kasberger also painted numerous city and landscape views in oil and in watercolor. In 1919 he published a series of postcards with Wels motifs. The publishing house Eugen Friedhuber, founded in 1937, brought out a series of eight picture cards on stations in Hitler's life based on pictures by Kasberger during the Hitler era .
Kasberger also designed frescoes on behalf of the public . In 1920 the Steinhaus community decided to issue emergency money based on Kasberger's designs. Kasberger created a title drawing for the illustrated magazine Bergland , which in 1927 adorned number 6 of the 9th year.
