Abensberger Monument
The Abensbergerdenkmal is a memorial stone for Nikolaus von Abensberg . It was built in 1487 in the south of Freising, just outside the city on the road to Munich, for the governor who had been captured in battle two years earlier and later murdered. The memorial stone in the form of a tomb shows the coat of arms of the Abensbergers and below the inscription:
- The noble one
- Niklas Herr too
- Abensberg
- the last of that name is here
- lain down and gone dead
- February 28, 1485
- God Genad
- Maximilian IV.
- Elector of the Palatinate Bavarians
- had this memorial stone renewed
- 1804.
At the behest of the Bavarian Elector Maximilian IV. Joseph , the original monument was replaced in 1804 by an antique red marble stele, i.e. H. replaces a stone adapted to the classical taste of the time. In 1918, the monument was to build an enclosure of lying behind Schlüter plant set back. The two trees standing to one side were removed in 2007, making the monument clearly visible. In November 2011 two trees were planted again.
