Here he maintained his own small bodyguard, including a parade ground and barracks .

His high-handed behavior led to considerable disagreements in the republican city-state, he resigned out of annoyance in 1695, but was reappointed in 1698, he was too important to be without him. So he traveled to Vienna from 1699 to 1701 to lead negotiations on the purchase of sovereign rights over the Upper Austrian Reiat , which initially remained unsuccessful for Schaffhausen due to the Büsinger trade . Emperor Leopold I awarded him the title of Berau in 1678 .

He collected coins and published essays on them with Sebastian Fäsch that appeared in print. He also set up a valuable library. In 1669 he wrote a work on astronomy and the sovereignty of the Reiat.

His daughter Elisabeth was court lady in Heidelberg and in 1679 married Elector Karl I Ludwig von Pfalz on the left hand side .
