The estates of the bishop, including the so-called Junkernhof farm, did not return after his death in 962 to the Bishopric of Verden, but were incorporated by his brother, Hermann Billung, (died 973), which later led to the imposition of an excommunication order on him.
Die Reichtümer des Bischofs, u. a. der sogenannte Junkernhof, fiel nach seinem Tod 962 nicht dem Bistum Verden zu, sondern wurden von seinem Bruder Hermann Billung († 973) eingezogen, was später zur Verhängung des Kirchenbannes führte.
