His concrete sculpture of a medical officer in the entrance area of ​​the former men's sanatorium of the Beelitz Heilstätten and the bas-relief "Three Friends" carved in 1979 in the Brück kindergarten are still publicly accessible in Germany . A concrete relief with the title "Mother and Child", which is also located on the grounds of the sanatorium, is also attributed to Amokow, but this allocation is apparently not reliable.
