Stoss has created the altar for Bamberg Cathedral and various other sculptures in Nuremberg, including the Annunciation and Tobias and the Angel.

In 1506, he is arrested a second time.

Emperor Maximilian writes a letter of pardon, but it is rejected by the council of the Imperial free city of Nuremberg as meddling in its internal affairs.

Stoss is able to resettle in Nuremberg from 1506, but is shunned by the council and is to receive few large commissions from this time forward.
