After 1365, the largest church in the city followed in Wroclaw, the hall church of Our Lady on the Sand (St. Maria in Arena) and the two-tower basilica of the parish church of St. Maria Magdalena . He was mentioned in the sources under both the German and the Latinized Polish name form, and it is not possible to clearly define his nationality.
