In 1812, Sachs wrote the first complete Allgemeine Straßen und Wohnungs-Anzeiger for the royal capital of Berlin.
It was a groundbreaking work for future address books as well, and this masterpiece even found buyers abroad.
The king ordered 4 copies and the State Chancellor Karl August Prince von Hardenberg ordered 12 copies.
The police stations also ordered, as the map plans and addresses were very accurate.
Unfortunately the beginning of the second French war prevented him from making a good financial living.
However, the address book opened up another possibility, since the Privy Councillor Friedrich August von Staegemann, chairman of the finance party, was currently working on the organisation of the property tax, the idea of a flying cataster was born.
Sachs opened an office to deal with this task, in order to gain control of the taxpayers with the least personnel.
Berlin was thereby divided into 12 tax districts, with each district receiving information on changes in the residence of its citizens every day by means of a form and updated hourly.
This is also how the first residents' registration offices came into being and police-relevant parts of the flying cadastre were set up and used at every police station in Berlin's residential city.
The Privy Oberfinanzrat von Staegemann commissioned Sachs to make proposals to provide the state with income of several million talers through a suitable tax.
His proposal led to the municipal tax that is still in force today and was first implemented as a Mieth tax.
