Proven work by Hutzier is, in addition to Gladbach's pulpit in St. Nicholas Church and a St. Agatha statue in Rüthen, the illumination of the high altar in the old town parish church in Warburg . The altar has been preserved and is now in the church at Welda . During his work in Warburg, Hutzier also took care of the painting of the high altar of the church in Wormeln .
