The economic situation of the post-war Berlin forces him to look for other ways of making his living besides sculpture.

His sense of initiative and his organizing talent allow karsten Klingbeil to succeed in the sectors of the distribution of magazins and building trade

The creation and the development of these companies relegate the sculpture to the background from 1952 to 1983. Karsten Klingbeil limits his artistic activity in creating some portraits (especially children's portraits) as well as animals portraits and reliefs.

In 1983 the sculptor retires from business and dedicates himself completely to his Art.
