The year is 1536 - Ottheinrich von der Pfalz, thirty-four years old and ruler of the Principality of Pfalz-Neuburg, is deeply in debt. The Wittelsbacher is known, among other things, for his lack of thrift, the joy of representing, of celebrations and hunting, as well as his great patronage. In order to avoid the threatened bankruptcy of the principality, he remembers a promissory note in his possession. His Polish grandmother Hedwig's dowry! This had never been paid since the „Landshut Wedding“ in 1475 with Georg the Rich. In the autumn of 1536 Ottheinrich travels to Krakow and actually receives the outstanding sum of 32,000 guilders. This elaborate journey is accompanied by an artist who evidently captures the resting places in daily stages on 50 watercolors and thus documents the course of the journey through eastern Germany, the Czech Republic and parts of Poland. The fifty single sheets were kept in an anthology from the Ebrach monastery until they were restored. It is not known when the anthology was compiled. In 2001, a research group led by Angelika Marsch, Josef Biller and Frank-Dietrich Jacob succeeded in proving the connection between Ottheinrich's trip to Poland and the succession of views.
