German novelist Peter Rathke presented Mama Baer as a character in his novel Im Knast mit Kommissar Hjuler und Mama Baer.

Mama Baer was played by Kathleen Gregory in an incomplete short film by Fred Wilder.

Kommissar Hjuler and Mama Baer wrote most of the film's music.

The Marketingclub Kärnten and the Kleine Zeitung Österreich voted his bread cat work Enter Konsum the winner of an art competition at the Innovation Congress 2010.

When he was in charge of the police, he regularly caused offense with his actions, so that until he left the police service, written orders or prohibitions with countersignatures were issued several times.

Together with Albrecht/d.

he regularly made leporellos from this correspondence.

Points of contention were the use of uniforms and official correspondence in assemblages, the wearing of uniforms in short films, and the later use of tape recordings (Martinshorn) from mission trips in music recordings.

Particular points of contention were the reshooting of a complete episode of the Raumpatrouille Orion series with uniformed colleagues and the refusal to read an official standard assessment in order to then declare it a work of art as an objet trouvé with the status "unread".

Unlike Commissioner Hjuler, the Schleswig-Holstein Ministry of the Interior did not see the fact that a document was not read as processing in the artistic sense.

Mama Baer has a huge amount of music releases available at independent labels like Ultra Eczema, Intransitive Recordings, Nihilist Records, Obskyr Records and others.

She shares albums with Bomis Prendin, Franz Kamin, Philip Krumm, Wolf Vostell, and others.

Inspector Hjuler worked until 2011 with a figure made of bread dough and dried, which he called bread cat and for which he created his own abstract universe.

The assemblages created behind Plexiglas are intended as a comic-like sequence of individual events.

In this way, Commissioner Hjuler developed a religion and a complete state and social system around this fictitious character, which repeatedly creates a critical reference to people in an absurd way.

Brotkatze ends up in the war against the superior enemy Votzekatze, a collage of three vaginas as a silhouette of the three-dimensional Brotkatze.
