Marienaltar Wolfgangskirche

May 13, 2020 by Henk Bekker

Marienaltar Wolfgangskirche

The Marienaltar (Altar of the Virgin) is the oldest of the altars in the Wolfgangskirche with the main statue of the Virgin with Child dating from around 1480-90, while the statue of St Wolfgang on top is from around 1470.

The wings are by Wilhelm Ziegler — his WZ and 1515 appear on both wings that illustrate scenes from the lives of Holy Roman Emperor Heinrich II (Henry II), who was declared a saint, and St Nicolaus.
