During his time in Trent, Wackenroder collected news about the parishes on Rügen, using documents and chronicles as well as the stories of older people. He summarized these in a description of the Rügen church history from the introduction of the Reformation in Pomerania to the end of the 17th century, which was still considered an essential source in this area in the 19th century. Before going to press, Wackenroder gave the manuscript to several friends to view and copy. In 1730 the work was published by Jakob Löffler without his knowledge, who had acquired a handwritten copy of the manuscript at an auction. Wackenroder then issued a statement in which he described the genesis of his work and how it was passed on and described the published work as incomplete and unfinished. Jakob Löffler then published a second, corrected edition in 1732, citing Wackenroder as the author and apologized in the preface for having promoted the print only with the best of intentions. In 1737 Löffler published another comment with additions to the preposition Bergen auf Rügen by Johann David Fabarius .
