Since he was unmarried, he already had his nephews Eberhard and Gerhard, the sons of his brother Gerhard the Elder, in 1400 . Ä. to hand over his goods, who then put him back in his goods. This took place again for half of Bürg in 1404. Eberhard remained single, died in 1419 and was buried in Gemmingen in his father's grave.
