Life

He held the office for thirty years until his death in 1571.

Works
After Stanislaus Wülberz's, his handwritten notes are the most extensive, especially on the history of the St. Blasien Monastery; later others used his works, above all Martin Gerbert . In the collection of the Franciscan Museum in Villingen , his coat of arms can be found on a glass painting from 1566, which he donated to the Herrenstube when he entered the Villingen guild .
