His first commission was to paint the coat of arms of the Rhenish Count Schenk, for his chapel in Greifenstein in Franconia.
He stood against the local aristocracy, particularly the counts of Greifenstein and of Dernbach and was for many years banished, since he withheld lands of Teutonic Knights, which his uncle had left to him.
