Foundation, endowment

For his hometown Lottstetten he donated a scholarship for theology students according to the deed of foundation of March 1, 1702. However, only relatives were allowed to benefit from it, in some cases this resulted in extensive family trees to prove their relationship. Only if no relative applied as a scholarship holder could others also claim the 105 guilders foundation. In 1861 a relative was rejected, after 1846 the scholarship was no longer awarded. Nevertheless, it had helped many to study.
