Yeah, it's been my main source on the son for a while. Apparently, the only thing the author knows about Peter's death is that it was before 1763, though!
But what the heck, he worked without pay for years? And also, he got to meet Fritz in 1772, I didn't know/remember that either.
Apparently!
I'd say it's simply "Wohnrecht", i.e. the right to live there if and whenever they want for as long as they live.
That does make sense. And I guess if you have a place you own and can sell/rent for ready cash, and a place you can live without paying, that makes financial sense when your breadwinner dies unexpectedly.
So Suhm's residence is narrowed down somewhat to "on the waterside on the southern part of the Spree island", but not exactly pinpointed.
Thank you for clarifying Berlin historical geography! In that case, I guess what I pinpointed was the words "Cölln am Wasser" on the map, lol.
