Appointed Mintmaster in Recklinghausen, Germany, on 1 September 1662. Nießmann presented his appointment letter to the Assay
Commission in May 1664. It appears that Peter Nießmann was the underage son of the Lünen Mintmaster Reiner Nießmann, and it
was the father that carried the responsibility. Lit.: Alfred Noss, Die Münzen der Erzbischöfe von Köln 1547-1794 (1925) p.
