Frederick August I, Elector of Saxony became aware of the young, aspiring lawyer and brought him to the court in Dresden.

Romanus recognized the musical genius of Georg Philipp Telemann, who came to Leipzig as a law student in 1701, and supported him in founding the later famous Collegium Musicum.

He enlarged the inherited property on the corner of Katharinenstrasse and Brühl through purchases and invested 150,000 thalers, a sum that far exceeded his financial circumstances, in the building project.

Romanus initially received support from the Elector, but was arrested in his palace (Romanushaus) on 16 January 1705 and imprisoned in the Pleissenburg.

The reasons for Augustus II the Strong and Brühl's unforgiving behavior towards the former mayor of Leipzig remain mysterious and have not yet been proven.

Due to a lack of profits from the Mansfeld copper mining, the trade fair city fell into debt and therefore declared itself insolvent.

We should also remember Johann Friedrich Böttger, who was supposed to produce gold for the Elector, who was constantly demanding money, at the Albrechtsburg in Meissen.

In 1731 she became the first female member of the "Deutsche Gesellschaft" headed by Gottsched, a society for the research and promotion of German literature and language.

The "Deutsche Gesellschaft" honored Christiana Mariana von Ziegler twice with the poetry prize, and the University of Wittenberg awarded her the title of "Imperially Crowned Poet" (Kaiserlich gekrönte Poetin) in 1733.
