He placed a total of 14 flaps along the Friedberg city wall with important events in Friedberg. Here is just a small sample to read.

The city wall of Friedberg in Bavaria is an important historical building that reflects the city's medieval past. Built from 1409 under Duke Ludwig the Bearded of Bavaria-Ingolstadt, it served to protect the city and the adjacent Wittelsbach castle.
The wall was originally made of fired bricks and covered with plaster. It reached an average height of five meters and was equipped with loopholes that were accessible via a wooden, covered battlement. A reconstructed section of this battlement can be viewed north of the Old Water Tower.
