Mostar became well-known in particular for his satirical texts published in numerous newspapers, and for his critical court reports, which he also published in a large number of books.

The personal papers include numerous letters, manuscripts, newspaper articles, documentary material, and in particular several artistically designed guest books of the time before 1945, in which many famous personalities of the cultural scene of Schwabing of the 1920s/ 30s perpetuated their names.
