He gives him the company name of the swimmer and as a motto above . In the Köthener society register, Wuthenau is recorded under the number 244 with its emblem duckweed on a pond ( Lemna minor L. ). There you will also find the rhyme law, which Wuthenau wrote on the occasion of his entry:

The water lentils, since one catches the ducks,
On ponds swims along from one another,
Drumb floating above I am called, because only floats above
The virtue, whether one is already cackling
against it, one just does not let it be divided and disrupted, and
with Pour the child out of the bath at once, hold
yourself carefully in your hat, united, round,
so virtue will often become fruitful.

Heinrich von Wuthenau died on April 29, 1652 in Großpaschleben at the age of 54.
