Notes:

At the end of January 1485, his son Hans appeared as the sole heir of the
Schwazer Company. Since 1500, however, he disappeared from the list of traders. Around 1503 he was in possession
of the Rubein Castle [ now Castel Rubein, still existing today in the Maia Alta neighborhood of Merano, just south of
the downtown. You can see it online at its own website, http://rubein.com/en-us ] near Meran, but he was unable to
keep his possessions as a result of the terrible financial difficulties in which he had in the meantime fallen. By 1520
he was already dead. Hermann Grünhofer's widow, Katharina, was still detected for several years after his death in
Meran, where she lived in her house in the hollow [ on Passeiergasse, now Vicolo Passiria, the alley named after the
Passeiertal, now Val Passiria, the valley north of Merano ] below [ the ] Ortenstein [ now the Pulverturm, German for
“Powder Tower”, the only surviving part of the castle, built in 1313 by the Counts of G.rz-Tyrol ] in the Steinach [
neighborhood, the original Meran ] but sold it around 1487. Hermann’s brother Pranz also worked as a coinmaker in
