He resided in the building with his wife Elisabeth née Holst (1665–1718) and their four daughters. Their daughter Elisabeth von Lengerken was married to Abraham Kløcker. She was the mother of Herman Lengerken Kløcker. The property was later destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728, together with most of the other buildings in the area.
