In his expert opinion, he dealt with current constitutional and intergovernmental issues such as the Möllner Pertinenzien and played a significant role in the settlement of the dispute with the Hanseatic city of Lübeck, which was favorable for Kurhannover . His work was and is still today the basis for constitutional legal historians interested in the history of the Holy Roman Empire and its imperial estates.
