Works


His first works were in sandstone as well as in plaster and stucco. In the 1960s, he began to combine various materials (bronze, glass) and smoothing the surface extremely. Figurative and geometrical elements were also combined, so that the work as a whole appears to have an intensified stylization.

His works for the public space (façade reliefs, fountains, and so on) is also extensive. His best-known work is the 1984 "Erdkugelbrunnen" on the Breitscheidplatz in Charlottenburg, also called the "Weltkugelbrunnen" or the "Wasserklops".
