- Description
- The portrait was originally accompanied by the inscription: 'Promnitio ecclesiam Naumburgi cessit avitam. / Hoc facto recipit Praeposituram suam. / Pistrinum struxit, feriae processio quintae / Est fundata ab eo, continua ta dein". He donated the church in Novgorod (St Bartholomew's) to Promnitz (owner of Zary), for which he received the preposition again. He built a bakery. He established a procession every Thursday for eternity.
