A reward of a thousand thalers was offered for Böttgher’s apprehension, but in vain. He arrived at Wittenberg, and appealed for protection to the Elector of Saxony, Frederick Augustus I. (King of Poland), surnamed “the Strong.” Frederick was himself very much in want of money at the time, and he was overjoyed at the prospect of obtaining gold in any quantity by the aid of the young alchemist. Böttgher was accordingly conveyed in secret to Dresden, accompanied by a royal escort. He had scarcely left Wittenberg when a battalion of Prussian grenadiers appeared before the gates demanding the gold-maker’s extradition. But it was too late: Böttgher had already arrived in Dresden, where he was lodged in the Golden House, and treated with every consideration, though strictly watched and kept under guard.

白话
悬赏一千塔勒抓捕伯特格，但徒劳无功。他到达维滕贝格，向萨克森选帝侯、波兰国王腓特烈·奥古斯特一世（绰号“强力王”）请求保护。腓特烈当时也正缺钱，想到能借助这位年轻炼金术士获得任意数量的黄金，喜出望外。于是伯特格由皇家卫队护送，秘密送往德累斯顿。他刚离开维滕贝格，一营普鲁士掷弹兵就出现在城门前，要求引渡这位炼金师。但为时已晚：伯特格已抵达德累斯顿，被安置在金屋，受到百般照顾，但也被严格监视和看守。

伯特格逃到萨克森寻求庇护，萨克森选帝侯同样觊觎炼金术，将他秘密控制起来。
