Possible Involvement in a New Printing Venture

Appointment to the Archbishop's Court
1465
Archbishop Adolf von Nassau of Mainz recognized Gutenberg's contributions and appointed him as a Hofmann (courtier) to the archbishop's court. This position provided Gutenberg with a stipend and exemption from certain taxes.

Johannes Gutenberg died on February 3, 1468, in Mainz. He was buried in the Franciscan church, which was later destroyed, and his burial site is now unknown.
