However, he was in poor health, fell seriously ill several times and finally stayed in Spa and Aachen to relax , where he also died on September 5, 1630.

He was buried almost three months later in the family crypt of the Hanau-Münzenberg family in the Marienkirche in Hanau in a wooden coffin that was surrounded by a tin coffin.
