He was also known for his designs for posters, book illustrations, and coats of arms, including the state coat of arms of Thuringia and the municipal seals of 56 municipalities. His artistic output included significant interior decorations, such as the staircase in the Lindenau Museum and the memorial chapel at the St. Annen City Church in Annaberg-Buchholz.
