Paul Schreckhaase's work has been passed down mainly through the exhibition catalogs from 1905 to 1913, with a work that has experienced a renaissance since the mid-1990s and is reflected in the growing number of his pictures being auctioned in auction houses.

Almost 100 works by him are known: 84 oil paintings and gouaches , 13 drawings and numerous illustrations in magazines, Köhler's illustrated fleet calendar and artist postcards . As a marine painter, he benefited from the enthusiasm for the navy of the Wilhelmine Empire and took part in numerous art exhibitions - for example the show of the Königsberger Kunstverein in 1905 or Berlin art exhibitions in 1912 and 1913 (with the paintings of Alter Wattfischer , Vollschiff, awaiting the pilots , shipyard the Hallig , or fisherman's house on Hiddensee ).

Most of his paintings are not dated. The oldest datable dates from 1898 ( Wolgast 1898 ). Despite the enthusiasm for the navy at the time, Paul Schreckhaase did not paint or draw any warships. He got his motifs on his study trips, which mainly led to the North Sea and the Baltic Sea . Three trips in 1909, 1910 and 1911 led to Cuxhaven alone. In addition, further study trips led to the Allgäu and the Havel landscape around Potsdam, which was popular with painters at the time .

His expertise on maritime earned Paul Schreck Haase, pointing to fishing boats and light vessels hired and worked there. He also processed this time in reports on experiences for German magazines, for example a report in the Berlin magazine Die Woche in 1909 about his time on an "Elblotsgaliot". He also wrote a book on oil painting that was first published in 1907.
