Archbishop Adolph von Nassau recognized Gutenberg's achievements and bestowed upon him the title of Hofmann (gentleman of the court). This honor included a stipend, an annual court outfit, and tax-free access to 2,180 liters of grain and 2,000 liters of wine. This was a significant event in Gutenberg's later life, providing him with financial security and social recognition after the disputes with Fust and the loss of his printing workshop.
