Brunsberg was born around 1350 in the Baltic region. It is assumed that he came from the town of Braniewo. In 1372, he acquired citizenship in Gdansk, where there is evidence of land ownership in his name in 1378. Around 1400, he was mentioned for the first time in the liber qurelarum of the city of Szczecin. With the year 1401, an inscription on the north chapel of St. Catherine's Church in the Neustadt Brandenburg [de] names him as the master builder of the church building. The last mention in the ecclesiastical abandonment books of Stettin dates from 1428. Presumably he died there soon afterwards, but at the latest in 1435 after the completion of the Marienkapelle at St. Catherine's Church in Brandenburg.[1]
