- The collection contains documents concerning the church of St. Andreas, foundations, annuity certificates such as No. 89 concerning a house in the Judenstrasse: The dressmaker Evert Koek in the Neustadt confesses that his late brother Klaus Düker has bequeathed, in his will, to St. Andreas Church 1 ferding [a silver coin worth 1/4 of a mark] in annuity with the capital from an annuity of 1 mark, which he has from the house of Henning Bungenstidde at the ditch not far south from the Orthaus, where the mayor Gherwen Wittekop lives. The aldermen agreed that he had this pension of 1 mark entered in the municipal register, since the deceased brother had left him 3 ferding annuity from this house. He agrees to pay the parish church 1 ferding annually, half at Easter and half on St Michael’s Day, from his house on Judenstrasse ["Jewish street"]. The pension is redeemable, after payment of the principal sum of 5 Braunschweig marks, upon termination submitted a quarter of a year in advance (1481).
