Epitaph of David Ruprecht Anschicker auf der Peunt, * 1573 Pressath - † October 21, 1649 Nuremberg, formerly grave no. 199 in the Johannisfriedhof, the epitaph dated 1612, is now on grave no. 478. ∞ Maria Pelhöffer, doctor's daughter from Kitzingen, children . A letter of recommendation dated March 3, 1598 from Melchior Taig, treasurer of the Bamberg cathedral chapter and citizen of Nuremberg, for David Ruprecht von Preßath, who was in Taig's third year as a scribe and now wanted to change. In 1612 he was appointed as a dispatcher on the Peunt, 1620-49 named. In 1627 he bought the house at Breite Gasse 61 for 2,600 florins. Panzer recorded his portrait in two versions. His son Tobias became a pastor. ___________________________________________ Epitaph of Richardt Kandt (Hella Rossner-Böhnlein sculptor, 1962) Nuremberg News from November 17, 2010: African researcher Kandt is buried in Nuremberg Arndt Peltner It is a coincidence that Kandt found his final resting place here. After a long period of suffering, he died in a military hospital in the Franconian metropolis. The exhausting years in Africa and the service in the imperial army had taken their toll. In 1917, as a military doctor, Kandt was caught in a poison gas attack from which he never recovered. After his death on April 29, 1918, the body was cremated and initially buried in the Nuremberg West Cemetery. He would probably have been forgotten long ago, the grave flattened and the last chapter written about the most important African explorer if it hadn't been for the Nuremberg journalist Bernhard Krüger. In February 1962 he wrote an article about Kandt and the sad state of his final resting place. (...) Richard Kandt recorded his findings in great detail. In the book “Caput Nili – a sensitive journey to the sources of the Nile”, published in 1904, he describes in detail his research trip and his discovery of the source of the Nile. In March 1899, Kandt reachedkissenje, today's Gisenyi on the border with the Congo. From there he moved south. On the Ishangi Peninsula, 17 kilometers northeast of Cyangugu, he built a private residence at an altitude of 1,600 meters, 150 meters above Lake Kivu. From here hed all further trips to Rwanda. (...) On March 9, 1962, the year of Rwanda's independence, the council of elders of the city of Nuremberg voted to move the urn from the West to the Johannisfriedhof. Above the epitaph there is a picture of a plant, three leaves with two cherry-like fruits. They symbolize the coffee plant, for whose distribution and economic use Richard Kandt was the first to do so in Rwanda.(...)
