In mid-2016, the Roemer- und Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim bought three oil paintings with portraits of family members from the Brandis family archive with the help of sponsors, including the portrait of Joachim Brandis the Elder. The pictures from the Renaissance are among the oldest examples of portraits of important Hildesheim citizens. After their restoration, it was announced that the paintings would be hung above the Struckmann Hall in the historic town hall.
