His son Georg lost all property in 1593 because of an intrigue against Emperor Rudolf II . In 1594 the confiscated Točník lordship was combined with the Zbiroh lordship and the royal court to form a cameraman whose captain had his seat in the Zbiroh castle. In 1595 the first blast furnace in Bohemia was built in Karlova Huť. The iron was further processed in the iron hammers from Popovice and the Karlshütte hammer. The administration and income of the Königshofer share of the cameraman Zbirow were assigned to the kk Montan-Aerar in 1834 as the kk Montan-Herrschaft or Berg-Cameralherrschaft Königshof.
