Hans Hinrich Rundt

In November 1692, Rundt applied to become a citizen of Hamburg and paid his fee in installments through August 1700.

His involvement with the House of Lippe can be dated from 1698 to 1720, on the basis of 112 letters, mostly addressed to Christoph Leineweber, the "Landrezeptor" (estate manager) for Count Frederick Adolphus.

After Leineweber's death in 1713, Rundt communicated more directly with the count, complaining about his low wages.

[2] The earliest works reliably attributed to him are engravings for the Thesauros Exoticorum by Eberhard Werner Happel (known as "Happelius") and for Viel vermehrte Moscowitische und Persianische Reisebeschreibungen by Adam Olearius, both in 1688.

He also produced murals for the Neues Palais [de] in 1705 and Saint James' Church.
