Trying to translate German script - what's the occupation of Diedrich Schmidt?

Hi

I have just obtained the civil death record for Diedrich Schmidt and can understand most of it but struggling to work out his occupation, appreciate it if someone can translate that for me. Looks like it starts with P (see attached). Thanks

Ulrich Neitzel

He is a Privatmann which means he is not professionally active, but lives off his assets.
