In 1501 he lost a hand in a shooting accident. In the same year he was paid la belle fenêtre qu'on a placée à la chapelle , which chapel it was could not yet be determined. From 1502 he was the teacher of Hans Lobenast from Hof . For the cemetery chapel in Friborg he delivered a glass painting in 1503/1504 and a window to Farvagny in the canton of Valais in 1504 , which has not been preserved due to the later destruction of the church. He was paid for five windows in the mint in 1505. He was mentioned for the last time in 1510. He is considered to be the last glass painter in Freiburg who mastered monumental glass painting.
