Trivia

In 1840 Schatz was able to convict a writer Bokelmann of plagiarism and was then sued by him, with the help of the lawyer Kieselbach, for insulting. In this context, a caricature defending treasure was created by the cartoonist Wenig, which bore the following signature:

Anyone who has smeared himself with ink
and used
someone else's property, is thick-skinned, but quite gentle,
No Kieselbach can clean him.
