Hi

It's stored originaly in the castle of Lochstedt and made of brass?

Thank you.

Brass was written between 1391 and 1407.
It is in Nowe Miasto Lubawskie on the Drwęca at St. Thomas.

Hm, I don't know. The text said that he died in 1391? (If my latin isn't to bad wich I don't know...)
So i guess it was made quite soon after his death, in 1391 (?)

Why was the brass made 10-20 years before his death? The date of his death stands on it.

Or?

So he died in 1391.
The founder was a relative of Kuno (Ebhard von Liebenstein) and Grand Master. Ebhard died in 1407, hence the date of 1391-1407. Brass was cast in Prussia (Bratian or Elbing)
In other cases, often a knight himself bought gravestone.
If you know German:

If you want I can send to you, but do not give advice to translate.
