He was highly esteemed in public and was on the town council of Wurzen. A curious incident took place when he was 40 years old. Viz: A gypsy girl told his fortune against his wishes that disaster would overcome him by the time he was 50. And although he did not believe in the prediction, it bothered him considerably. When on his fiftieth birthday he remarked to his wife he had reached 50 without the mishap just as he was going to bed. At that moment he heard shouts and looked out to see his whole place of business (a large tannery) going up in smoke. He found himself pennyless but with the help of friends started up again. (No fire Insurance those days). And in 2 or 3 years time his business was bigger than ever. When he died he was a wealthy man and his firm "Wurzener Wollwasherie" had world renown fame.
