Since 1433 the domain Aerzen has been pledged by the Guelph Dukes to the Hochstift Hildesheim , which in turn passed the office and castle on as pledge to Stacius von Münchhausen and Heinrich von Hardenberg in 1508 . In addition, in 1510 the loan register of the St. Bonifatiusstift in Hameln mentions Stats and his brothers as owners of three Meierhöfen in Schwöbber and six Kothöfen in the court of Aerzen. When, at the beginning of 1518, the Hildesheim bishop Johannes IV of Sachsen-Lauenburg did not renew Hardenberg's half pledge, a fight broke out between the two pledge holders in Aerzen.

At the same time, Bishop Johannes IV installed Stacius as bailiff at the Lauenstein Castle, after he had terminated this pledge, which had existed since 1497, for the von Saldern brothers . After an unsuccessful attack on the castle, Burchard von Saldern burned the hamlet of Lauenstein. In the summer he attached the feud letter with the inscription: “Borchert von Salder do got; dat ick raise every thou fire; I confess that with my hand. ” to the castle gate. Various fights broke out in 1518, but Stacius did not live to see them.

Stacius von Münchhausen had to flee in early 1518 and was killed by Heinrich von Hardenberg and Burchard von Saldern shortly before Hildesheim. Johannes Oldekop describes this murder as follows in his Hildesheim Chronicle: “Stass von Monickhusen fell at the beginning of the fatal collegiate feud. In the name of Bishop John IV, he owned the Lauenstein House, which the v. Balances as a result of the episcopal termination and of the court of arbitration had to evacuate the estates, occupied (Note: Almost at the same time as Heinrich v. Hardenberg was forced to evacuate half of Aerzen) . On February 23, 1518 he (Stacius) wanted to ride from Lauenstein to Steuerwald to the bishop, but was on the way from Heinrich v. Hardenberg and Burchard v. Saldern attacked, wounded in the head and chest and thrown to the core at the episcopal residence in Steuerwald as a mockery of his master ; the next morning his body was found in front of the mill dump. The same was taken to Hildesheim to the bishop's court and buried in the knight's cemetery. "

His death was one of the reasons for the Hildesheim collegiate feud .
