As a reward for his services, he was given the important post of postmaster in Zlabings (Slavonice) .

The magistrate of the city of Drolshagen confirmed his aristocratic origin on October 18, 1683.

On September 14, 1694, Gerhard Heinrich bought the nearby Kirchwiedern estate (Kostelní Vydří) with Brandlin in the Iglauer Kreis (until 1825) from Gottfried Ernst von Walddorf for 35,500, in 1709 the Borowna estate for 21,000 Rhenish guilders  (fl.) And built with his Wife Maria Helena b. Hiltprand von Reinegg built the St. Antons Chapel in the parish church of Zlabings (1708), which he designated as the burial place of his family.

At the suggestion of the visiting Carmelite general Karl Graf Slawata (1641-1712) zu Neuhaus , he had a chapel built on a hill near Kirchwiedern (1709), in which a picture of the Holy Virgin from Mount Carmel was placed for veneration. This marked the beginning of the pilgrimage church "Our Lady of the Mountains Carmel", which is still known today, and the associated Carmelite monastery in Kirchwiedern.

Because of his former military merits and because “the von Rolsberg family in the Archdiocese of Cologne was considered good 200 years earlier”, Emperor Leopold I elevated him to the knighthood on August 23, 1694 and at the same time awarded him the Incolat in the Bohemian countries .

Matthias Heinrich Butz from Rolsberg
