Life
Life
Brunsberg was born around 1350 in State of the Teutonic Order. It is assumed that he came from the town of Braniewo. In 1372, he acquired citizenship in Gdańsk, where there is evidence of land ownership in his name in 1378. Around 1400, he was mentioned for the first time in the liber qurelarum of the city of Szczecin. With the year 1401, an inscription on the north chapel of St. Catherine's Church in the Neustadt (Brandenburg an der Havel) names him as the master builder of the church building. The last mention in the ecclesiastical abandonment books of Szczecin dates from 1428. Presumably he died there soon afterwards, but at the latest in 1435 after the completion of the Marienkapelle at St. Catherine's Church in Brandenburg.
