St. Nikolai, which is the same church where Gundling will be buried in April 1731
Nitpick time: He was buried in the Bornstedter church, beyond Sanssouci. The Nicolaikirche was just where the funeral service took place and it's the huge dome right next to the Town Palace.
Oh, and the Adresskalender is actually for Berlin and Potsdam both, but I don't see a Ritter in 1729 or 1730, so her father's position must not have been important enough to be included.
Right, burial and funeral service, different churches. Still, as Cantor of Nicolai, Matthias Ritter would presumably have a front row seat to his superior refusing to hold the funeral service if Gundling didn't get a real coffin. If, that is, he still had the job in 1731.
Wiki says they only moved to Potsdam in 1728 when he got the job(s), - they lived in Perleberg before that - , so perhaps that's why he didn't make the 1729 address book yet. In 1730, otoh, he lost his job at the school immediately in September when Doris was whipped. I do hope he wasn't fired at the church as well, but wiki doesn't say. So the family might have had to move again.
