Master Bernhart Brinckmann, citizen and bookbinder, was accepted and admitted as a brother into this foundation on March 15, 1705, at the age of 78, because of his good and honest conduct.

In the year 1708, he was stricken with dropsy, which he suffered from for about half a year; until finally, on the night between Maundy Thursday and Charity Day, or between March 28 and 29, a quarter past 6 a.m. or a quarter to 1 p.m., in the year of Christ 1709, at the age of 82 and as a brother of this foundation in his 5th year, he died a peaceful and blessed death. And his body was Christianly buried on April 2, the third day of Easter, in St. John's Churchyard under his own gravestone. May God grant him a gentle rest, and on the last day a blessed resurrection to eternal life!

May God grant him a joyful resurrection.

Peter Schöffer.  Monument in Gernsheim from 1836

Peter Schöffer was an associate of Johann Fust (financial backer of Johann Gutenberg) who worked as an apprentice to Gutenberg during the making of the 42-Line Bible. Schöffer took Fust's side when  Gutenberg was sued in 1455 for 2,026 guilders. The court found in Fust's favour, and Gutenberg lost his invention and equipment. Schöffer had his name join Fust's on the completed copies of the Bible.



Among other things, he is responsible for the printer's marks that indicated the origin of printed works. Peter Schöffer's printer's mark, here placed at the end of Valerius Maximus, 1471

In 1476 Schöffer bought a house and expanded it with a neighboring building to become the "Schöfferhof". The printing works was also located here. Just a few years after his father's death in 1503, Peter Schöffer the Younger sold the house again. The buyer then built a brewery there. The name Schöfferhof was apparently only used as a brand name for the brewery from around the middle of the 19th century.

Peter Schöffer too, but different: This is what the beer brand's namesake looked like in an older version that can still be found on beer crates today.
