Location in the burial ground
The materialist Paul Öllinger (Oellinger) the Younger was mentioned between 1590 and 1606. After declaring bankruptcy, he was deposed and left the city. The administrator of his estate sold his house at Rathausplatz 9 (pre-war numbering), which he had owned since at least 1596, as well as his garden in Gostenhof, to satisfy his creditors' claims. Öllinger is last mentioned in 1609. He had been married since May 24, 1586, to Magdalena, daughter of the wheat beer brewer Endres Lutz. Magdalena, who last lived in Krämersgasse, was buried on November 2, 1611, in St. Johannis Cemetery. While, according to Trechsel, Magdalena's death date (October 31, 1611) was recorded on the epitaph, the older inventory by Gugel from 1682, like the epitaph presented here, leaves the space for her death date blank (Christoph Friedrich Gugel: Norischer Christen Freydhöfe Gedächtnis, Nuremberg 1682, p. 153). According to Zahn, Trechsel obtained his knowledge of the death date from Rötenbeck's records. Cf. Peter Zahn: Die Inschriften der Stadt Nürnberg III, 2, Die Friedhöfe St. Johannis, St. Rochus und Wöhrd zu Nürnberg (1609 bis 1650), Wiesbaden 2013, pp. 651, 1975a-n.
