Schoenholtz was mainly active as a stone sculptor, who carried out his work in a simple, reduced formal language based on large-format charcoal drawings. His best-known works include sculptures in the crypt he designed in the Frauenkirche Dresden (1999–2005). Sculptures by Michael Schoenholtz can be seen in public spaces in Heilbronn, Nordhorn , Soest and above all in Berlin.
